Well the weather gods predict a sunny Sunday, so I plan on a trip to Butler Indiana, Capn Caps says he will probably meet me down there, Then a 2:00 am PM from Zack suprises me that he will try making it down hope the gods are right.
Symbols and time are somewhat accurate
I hear 33T and 20M as I am heading thruogh Ohio at Blakesly on the Huntinton line, well I will miss them because I wasnt to sure where I was at at the moment but I was close.

Not sure on this train maybee 38E but it seems to short and not the right type of cars.
well its nice sun for an eastbound 32T we thought we would try the overhead bridge shot as we get onto the entrance ramp Zack sees him shoot from under the bridge so we make a quick turn around to get him in town. NOT...........
we finnaly get ahead of him at the connector jump out of the truck for a grab shot btw the transfer track must be rated for 25mph
