This was the first time I've been out to this spot in months.  In fact the last time the three of us were able to all meet up and go fanning was back in early August.  The year before, almost every weekend... what a difference a year makes.

But were were back out at our spot between Atherton, MO and Eton Junction where Union Pacific's River Sub splits off from the BNSF Transcon.  We weren't after anything in particular, just there to hang out and film whatever goes by.

There is a large time gap between the 3rd and 4th trains because everything died.  Only thing moving was a BNSF track inspector in a highrailer pick up cruising westbound on the mainline.  We've seen this guy before and like before, he stopped and talked to us for a bit, checked his computer to let us know if anything was coming.  There wasn't.  At least not anything that would keep us out there for too much longer.  But we stayed a while longer anyway and the last train in this video went by.

Over on the UP though, they were busier, and when we decided to leave Eton, we went over to the River Sub.  Didn't take long at all before a UP/KCS combo with a manifest went by.  I made the attempt to film it, but my camcorder had other ideas.  For whatever reason, it decided to not recognize my SD card while I was trying to film this train.  It still won't either.  So, I have an issue who's timing couldn't be worse.  This weekend 844 is coming and I don't trust that my camera is going to work for me.  If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have none at all when it comes to cameras.

Anyway, that's it for now.  HO stuff coming for this Sunday's upload, and hopefully lots of 844 footage in the next week or two.  Stay tuned!
