As Luck Would Have It...
Title:  As Luck Would Have It...
Description:  I received a tip that FOXY train AP203 was headed to New London, WI. As Ive never caught AP203 west of Greenville, WI, I headed north from the CN line in Dale. As I arrived at the HWY 45/HWY 15 intersection just south of New London, so did HLCX 3880 (GP38-2) and its train.
