NS 255 beats me to the crossing at Alvordton I new I would miss him as I was going through Hudson dispatch told 23T they would follow 255 so I know I have 1 coming. Arrive at East Alvordton to see an NS train sitting in the siding.
So first up is NS M22 an extra 122.


Set up for 23T

I was heading down to Stryker as I hear the detector go off again, another train?
Head west of the town of Alvordton I snag this shot.

NS 15J 9:40 am


Over to Archabold for

NS 20Q gets to me east of Stryker as I am heading back at 10:14 am

Down to the bridge for this lame shot of 35N
12:01 pm


Hear on the scanner 29T all stop west Alvordton hmmm wonder if I can make it up there before he get the green? 20 minutes later back at Alvordton.
29T


Well he is waiting in the siding for someone so I head further east and North back into Michigan and get 22T at North Morenci.


I have heard that NS 260 is following  him so I head back west for a different location But alas I am about 30 seconds to late for the shot.

Well that raps up todays action till next time enjoy life and be safe.
