Well today my dad and I went out to Staunton, IL to catch some trains. I met up with CQDX018 (Kevin) for the first time. Me and him had a good time out there today. He told me that there was going to be a southbound coal which was probaly NS 71E but we didnt get to catch that. As we were sitting in his truck getting warmed up, we suddenly get a track warrant from the Staunton siding from the NS conductor. Kevin and I thought it was NS 302 but as soon as that train came flying around the curve it wasnt NS 302 it was a Triple Crown train and I was happy to see one of those. I've caught them before when I was living in Ohio but that was before I had a video camera. Anyways I had a great time with Kevin I plan on seeing him again when it gets warmer. This is a great train watching spot.
