HUGO seemed like it would be a good spot to sit for a while since there were trains coming in almost every direction on both the New Castle District and the Huntington District at the time, so I had us hold off these (much to AJs displeasure. Photographing GEVOs is the work of the devil apparently). We sat for some time before we heard NS DN14 key up the FTW Terminal Dispatch telling him they were clearing up off the GR&I ready to head back toward East Wayne with NS 5192 as the sole unit. Despite there being inbound trains coming at HUGO, there was no way we were going to miss an opportunity to see two high hood leaders outside of yard service in the same day. We raced up through the increasingly heavy traffic to the parking lot for the Journal Gazette on the northwest side of downtown just down from CP Runnion. There, the tracks cross the Saint Joseph River on a large trestle. I had never shot at this location before, and it made me quite excited to see that we had beaten the train before it took off and Id finally be able to mark this shot off my list. Minutes later, NS DN14 took off toward New Haven and the short chase to home base was on! |
