17:55 it departed North

I then turned around after his tail end went by to head back to the diamond. As I was approaching the crossing at Shook Road the gates were down and I grapped a quick shot out the window with by slide film camera.

CP East (Scott, maybe you might know a symbol on this one?)
CP 6016 - CP 762
71 empty autoracks

I chased off after him but I've never explored the area east before so all I could get was a quick grab shot out the front window at a crossing east of the airport.

Headed back to the diamond and got there just in time to a slide shot as it was coming towards me and a going away digital into the sun.

7657 would be Q245 of that date, the CEFX 3111 I will have to trace, ether Q304, Q335, or Q322, judging by looking at the train, I would say 322, but I will double check.
