PM 1225Ending the day along Peet Rd nearing Chesaning, the 1225 slowly chugs across a frozen field...well, frozen for the most part, right Patrick? Many railfans were irritated that a lady decided to stand behind the mile post. Good ending to a great day of chasing through. Met Avance there as well. A sunny day would have been better, but i wouldn't have traded this day away at all. This started the beginning of what was one of the better weekends i've had in quite a while. Thanks to all for the chase and excitement there. 12/18/04~Z~

PM 1225Arriving in Oakley, parked next to Patrick's mom again, went across the road, and got the following photo right around when JRV was taking a photo of Santa along the side of the road. 12/18/04~Z~

PM 1225The school bus was going to go before the flashers went on, but as soon as the kids saw it was a steamer, the bus stayed put, with all of the kids pushing to the side of the bus to watch the 1225 come across. 12/18/04~Z~

PM 1225After Henderson, headed east to M-52, then north again. Seeing the train chugging along in the fields in the distance, Patrick said to pull over. I threw on the 4ways and got this out the window. 12/18/04~Z~

PM 1225Another photo in Henderson as the 1225 rounded the corner to head northeast. 12/18/04~Z~

PM 1225Got caught behind some traffic at this point and had to hurry to catch it by Juddville. A few railfans were standing out in front of everyone else in the photo line along the road, but i got them cropped out. 12/18/04~Z~

PM 1225As we were leaving Juddville Rd, noticed a green civic that didn't make a good parking spot on the side of the road, and slid into the ditch. I would assume their chase was finished for the day. Henderson was the next stop. Many cars already parked there, found a spot at the last moment, hopped out and got this picture. The following diesel TSBY #390 (City of Durand) was seen in the distance. 12/18/04~Z~

PM 1225After the M-21 crossing, we hightailed it to a spot just off Alden street to get a picture of the polar express as it rounded a corner to start heading due north. 12/18/04~Z~
