CORRECTION:  It's "AC4460CW," not "AC6043CW."  I was thinking of the SD9043MAC when I was editing this video together and didn't catch it till I started uploading this to YouTube.  I'm not going back and changing the video.

So, Chris texts me telling me to get to Main Street quickly.  I was like, I didn't hear anything, so I figured I should have plenty of time.  Wrong.  As I'm pulling up to the crossing, a light power move with two units are already at the crossing.  So, thankfully I already had my camera on, and filmed what I could of it.  The sun was in the wrong spot so everything was backlit and washed out, and I could barely make out the locomotive numbers.  But I filmed it anyway.

But there would soon be more.

About ten minutes later I was on the right side of the tracks to get better lighting, and an eastbound grain shows up.  Chris says to stay put, there is another one coming.  So I stay, and sure enough, about 30 minutes later a westbound grain arrives.

This train was also a first for me because it had two UP units, one being an ex SP AC4400CW.  This wasn't the first time UP power made it's way onto this line, but it is the first time I've ever seen them come through here.  So I was pretty happy to film this and get as good a video of it as I did.

Not sure what I have coming next, but it will most likely be some BNSF action with an NS Heritage bonus.  Stay tuned for more!
