The long awaited boys trip to Great Wolf Lodge with TJ had finally come! A 2 night, 3 day weekend trip at one of my favorite trip destinations....and of course some trains to go along the way! I went down to Muncie in the early morning to get TJ and begin our day. Storms had rolled in during the early morning hours with muted any sort of rising sunlight we would have had, but we both said to ourselves that Muncie would probably not be busy before we left to go north anyway. Man were we ever wrong. We grabbed NS 177 almost right off the bat (which unfortunately I could not get my equipment set up in time for) at Ohio Street, and NS L82 asked for permission out of the yard and south after them. We were able to get down to the Kitseman Trailhead in time to grab it coming across the White River. Im quite happy that the Muncie pool has transitioned from widecab GEs back to standard local power. SD40Es are much nicer. |
