Today along the A Line

[ssmith1627]

Left work early today and did some train chasing out ahead of the storms that passed through.

Saw a red signal at Ebenezer so I stopped just before 135 passed.   There was a work crew there and they talked to the crew on the train about the 5th car back from the loco's and the 7th car from the end both having flat spots on the wheels.  They told them to slow to 30 mph.   The dispatcher talked to them after that and told them to enter the siding at Boyd for a crew from Cleveland to inspect the cars.   They were also going to inspect the track behind 135 for damage before running train 921, I believe.

I heard them talking about 22A meeting another train at Rader so I ran east.   I caught westbound 702 at Coulter.   I then found 22A at Morristown and chased it all the way back to Mascot.    They held eastbound 727 at Friends for 22A to pass to the west.

Despite the clouds passing, I got a couple shots I really liked out of the 125 or so that I took today.
