Title: Tanks invade Vanarsdall Road
Post by: butch on June 12, 2011, 10:34:34 PM
Coming up the Bluegrass Parkway I heard something on the scanner so I jumped off at Emmett's exit to see what I could find.  I heard a train call the Talmage siding so I  decided on the Vanarsdall Rd siding.  While I was waiting I heard 57 call Salvisa so I got ready for the eastbounder.  It turned out to be a load of tanks.

Never did get the symbol on the other train but it came by shortly after 57 cleared.

I heard them on the radio this evening myself, and walked out to the end of the driveway to watch them by. Figured it was the same as the usual 055 (weekly high wide train)..but it was not. Thought about running towards Talamge to shoot them, but supper was ready...priorities you know!

That Westbound was 168.
