The Bone Head move of the day I head north of town for another pic of this train as I heard no other traffic on the scanner and it was great light out.
Where I was at when Q390 blows through
7:38 hear a train heading through town no way am I gonna get back to get this one.
"F-Tower Q390 what is your lead unit?"
"Q390 to F-Tower its the UP 2001"
F-Tower "she sure is pretty"
Q390 "yep painted her special just for you"
Well the race is on to see if I can catch this unit I can hear her calling signals off and on but not sure where she is at. As I get to Willard I can hear her entering the yard and doing some switching.
I hear the tower operator say they are getting calls from people wanting to get pictures I drive around the yard several time with no luck. finally I head down one road and get lucky its the administration offices but its not posted for trespassing so I take a chance and pull in the parking lot for a few pics of this unit.

This engin apparently went into emergency as it entered the yard, the conducter made some comment about the photographers probably messing with the EOT. As I was leaving town the real reason was he had a hose dragging and it came apart as he entered the yard. (Silley him, He should think before speaking and showing what a real idiot he is).
20:54 Q117 CSX 675.
I leave for home after this one again what a great day in F-Town ang meeting up with some old friend like Sam,Donna,Ellis, Luke, and meeting some new one that I cant remember. Come back as I will be updating this for the next week or so.
