Rails, Rain, and Radio
The best thing one can do when it's raining is let it rain ~H.W. Longfellow This past Friday I was able to finally get a day off from work and while the weather was not the most opportunistic for trains or amateur radio it was a great day to be trackside. I packed a few sandwiches and drinks and headed off to meet my buddy under the bridge in his car ( our default rain location) while I was there only a few minutes I heard the Q216 call Firestone signal knowing he would be there in a few minutes. Q-216 with a SD40-3 leader passes by a piece of construction equipment After the Q216 I set and shot the bull with Dave and within about a half hour we hear the Q015 as it cleared a few signals away. What I would see next would not leave me disappointed. Q016 with a lone Horse? What appeared around the corner was what seemed to be a lone horse leading a long line of double stack containers. Was this real? had CSX lost their minds?, no absolute way should this be work
