We stopped at an overpass but it was crowded so I didnt wanna whip out the Samsung galaxy S3 I was using to photogragh and draw attention away from the steam loco !!! We headed to good ol Kings Mountain to catch 630 climbing the hill !!! Along the way Tyler showed us his pilot wings and flew the lil blue toyota towards the crest of Kings Mountain

The scanner said that 956 was gonna have to wait at Waynesburg to clear some clutter in front of it
Back underway south she passes the relic signal bridge

Many thanks go to Tyler for his hospitality and josh for inviting me to tag along !!!

Correction: your shot at Antioch Curve wasn't blown at all. I think it's pretty cool.
Great shootin tex! It was fun having you all along with me! Aside from the pooches and morning sickness haha.
Matt I appreciate it maybe if the rack hadn't blocked the pilot It'd be a great shot !!!
Why thank ya Tyler ....even still I had a blast !!! Hope to do it again sometime
All in all... looks like you had a great chase! Nice job! DE Dan
