10 hours in west Toledo

Looks more like 14 hours to me.. pretty decent amount of traffic though..take any pics while sittin out there?

Wow Zack you blew that one. I was actually 11:45 min.

1000A 18M 7505, 8894, 9686 --- to -----1145P M6N 9677, 2733, 3404

I count 13 hours, 45 minutes. 10am to noon=2 hours. Noon to 11:45pm=11 hours 45minutes. 11:45 plus 2 hours is 13 hours 45 minutes.

[esprrfan]

Alrighty I should of said "10 PLUS hours"

[sd70accsxt700]

Well Im glad it only took three of us.

Not even.. what if he didn't get there exactly at 10:00 when the first train came, and what if he didn't leave exactly at 23:45?
I rounded to 14 hours, as it sounds better than 13 hours 45 mins, or 11 hours 45 mins as matt calculated. ehehehehe, eye r teh win!

[Scooterb]

well I was out about 4 hrs, but I left home about 6:45 am and got back at 1:00 pm so you could call it 6 hours.

But does it really matter

This thread sure took a left turn.

Duane were you just out fanning or were you stuck on a train?

[esprrfan]

I was on the 10M with the KCS 4706, just sitting at Elkhart waiting to go hour after hour seeing all the different units go by.

Really ticked that I couldn't get a shot of the UP 7605 or more importantly the SP SD40M-2.

Thats sort of why I posted the list here was since I wasn't "offically fanning" I'd post it here for anyone wondering about a Sunday on the Chicago line. After 8pm the list pretty much is what I passed or followed.

[Scooterb]

Wow some nice power was out and about later in the day. SP SD40M-2. would have been a great shot I agree. So you had the 4706 for the leader? New unit?

9/30/07, still had the new car smell. Rode like a cadillac, smooth, quiet.
