Wish I'd wrapped up my work near Saugatuck sooner. The sun angle would have been outstanding for this train along Chicago Drive. Just this morning I spotted at cross-field shot west of Vriesland and was thinking about how great it would be to catch an evening WB train there.

Gee, that's more locomotives than I expect to see on the Plymouth Sub through Howell during the entire month of July. Anything over four will be a bonus
