Awesome catches Larry!!!   I was working in Cheney when the CSX 444 went thru waiting for a westbound "Q" train that had an Ace leading to go thru East Cheney before it continued east towards Spokane..
Of course, I was on duty and couldn't take a picture of anything of the 5 trains I saw as we were working Cheney yard..
