Title:  Hinckley Sub/U-SUPSRX5-26G
Description:  Almost turned around when I found out he had two cars. But the sun broke through the clouds and I figured I might as well get a shot since I drove out here. Two H1's, one a bit nicer than the other, roll through the wetland and forest filled Andover with a crane in tow.

Fine then, BNSF
Title:  Fine then, BNSF
Description:  If someone would have told me I'd shoot two pairs of BNSF SD40-2's on road trains in less than 24 hours I would have thought that person th be insane. I would have also had to bite my tongue because here comes the NTWKCK at University, headed for Wilmar. At first I thought that this had to be a transfer but after noticing the track he was on and judging the cars in his train, I realized that these two Cascades were given rare duties on a road train, so the chase quickly ensued.
