| After leaving Pine, we took one more swing around Kirk Yard to see if there were any CN trains/waiting to go into the yard, and sure enough there was. A manifest with 7 engines, including an IC Deathstar 3rd in line, was waiting for permission. We pulled off at an auto dealership to take photos of the deathstar. This would serve as the final train of the day. What a first day it was! 43 trains all together with some pretty nice catches! And Pine Jct, is just like everyne says it is, unstoppable! Every time one train would pass, you could see the next one! Despite it being so cold and snowy it was very fun! Tomorrow we go to church and the Great Midwest Train Show in Wheaton, IL then watch trains afterwards! Very good day! Hope to go back to Pine again soon! |
