Today's action at 369!

As we pulled up at the yard this morning two of the Geeps were on either end of a tank car. As the short train moved west towards the switch another Geep, this one toting that sweet C&O caboose, came right up behind it and backed down to pick up some cars. After about 5 minutes they had assembled between 20 and 25 cars, tacked on the caboose and completed their air test. This train also left the yard headed west, but not for long, I'll get to that next.

The MP 15t had started to creep past the tower but held just short of coming into view from our vantage point. I pulled the van to the east end of the crew shack and saw that the switcher was moving the two Modoc Northern units that had been sitting on the "old hole". I was also surprised to see a pair of GWI Inc. Geeps in the yard! As we were shooting the MN SD's and the GWI units we heard a train on the main. I got back to the west side of the tower in time to see the caboose of the second train to leave leading it's train east towards Fairport! I like it when the yard is busy!
