Last time it came through it at least had a Maroon and grey GP30 behind it. so it wasn't as bad. The railway police were 2 feet to our left. They were decent all day as long as you were not doing anything dumb. Like on guy standing head on trying to take a pic with the train coming right at him.

no the switch is gone on the west end of the siding. The east side has the switch still. They stick MOW equipment there when they need to get freight past it.

That used to be the Mile 10.5 grain elevator. Was torn down a few years ago. Makes for a nice platform to take pictures from.

Well as always Sunday is Train day. And it was a busy one. Between 8am and 10 am we saw 12 trains. As well i saw 3 at around 5:30am when i got called into work. So here is the first sighting. Then up next we have this one. Oh look two trains at once. Still 2 trains. And yet another...

Ok here is the kit im building. And here is where im at after a few nights. Now i can go fix all the paint spots i missed.
