Western Railroad Discussion > Wives Don't Need to Know EverythingDate: 11/19/20 10:31 Wives Don't Need to Know Everything Author: TexBob So I was catching up on some streaming last night when the phone rings at 2230 with news that CP 9772 was leading a northbound
BNSF train out of Alvin, TX, about 35 miles south of me. My first reaction was to blow it off because it was late and I'm old, but then I remembered YOLO. Typically, I'd tell my wife early in the evening when I know I'm going to flash a train, but she was already asleep, and I sure as hell wasn't going to wake her to tell her that I was leaving. I quickly gathered what I needed and got on the road to Rosenberg, TX, arriving there a bit after 2300. I noticed a Rosenberg PD SUV parked across from where I would be setting up my lights on the edge of the road. I felt it was prudent to advise him (not ask for permission) what I was doing, adding that I knew that he would be wondering "WTF is that fool doing". He laughed and said he was cool with it. I set up quickly, doing my test shot at 2317. Six minutes later, CP AC4400CW 9772 led the UGATTFL by the south switch of Rosenberg siding. A quick tear-down and I was back home just before midnight, my wife still soundly asleep and no wiser to my adventure.

I do appreciate your dedication.

SO, what train was up? (Show her the pic at Rosenberg...............) And tell her that the PD can verify.
