Q335 was crawling up the hill at Fox at 16:30. They made the hill going about 10mph. Then, saw them go by the old interurban bridge near Godfrey about 30 minutes later. Then, went to Grandville because I knew N956 was coming--and sure enough the lights were lit, set up the tripod and heard the horn. The lights were REALLY bright as they went by. That was at 16:55. Pushers idleing. Past Q335 in the yard who was putting the extra part of their train on a different track.
It was AWESOME!!
Good few hours to be a foamer in GR
