The train arrives at the platform:
The consist for tonight was:
P42DC #30
Three Horizon Fleet coaches
One Horizon Fleet Cafe
F40 NPCU "Cabbage" 90219
This photo shows the whole train as seen from my usual position:
Slightly different angle. If you look closely behind the signals at Trowbridge, you can see the signals at Cedar Interlocking, Three miles away. Even further away, but also visible, is a smoke stack from the Board of Water and Light Power Plant in Lansing

Profile shot of #30:
As I was taking the third picture, I noticed the street lights on the platform. I checked all three pictures, and sure enough, the lights had screwed me again. I solved the problem with the lights by walking to the other side of the track. The lights are not much of a problem on that side.
You can see passengers getting off the train in this view:
A slightly zoomed in view. The passengers are boarding the train this time:
The last passenger is boarding, and the train is getting ready to leave:
The train departs town, and streaks into the night, with 90219's marker lights, and the gate at Harrison Road rising:
Just after the train left, I ran into another member of the shortlines board, Retired Yardmaster. I've now met practically everyone on the board!
Thats it. I hope everyone enjoyed!
