Scooter meets Zack and Capn Caps at Butler

Unread post by Scooterb »

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.
As I get to Edgerton I hear 22K comming.

Zack rolls into town about this time there is a 21A at west Butler on the Huntington line a 38E on the Chicago line and a 23N well a loop around town shows we missed 21A -9 leader no loss

we get to the parking lot for a shot of 23N

Not sure on this train maybee 38E but it seems to short and not the right type of cars.
Image
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 :D
Image
Well 252 is coming up the Huntington line so I thought we could catch him downtown but Zack sees his headlight and we turn aound to head back to where we were. in time to catch a suprise 23Z on th e Chicago line
