Filmed 03/03/15 The problem with posting videos that were filmed a couple years ago, you tend to forget some of the details behind what and why you filmed what you did. Much like with this video. For me to be out at Eton on a Tuesday evening in early March, I had to have been out there waiting for a target train. But back then, I was filming everything, and only posting the train I was after. The problem here is that I couldn't find anything in my library here on YouTube that was from that date. So I don't know what I was doing out there at that time. Other than filming trains. The Amtrak #4 that starts this video; the train itself is backwards from a regular #4 with that has the baggage car in front, not bringing up the rear (this one looks like it's the #3 being pulled backwards actually), and the locomotives are back to back, not it's usual elephant style. Plus the fact this train is at least 9 hours late as it usually goes through between 8 and 9 in the morning-- hmm... THIS is the damned target train, this shhhstuff ain't normal. Anyway, the other two trains are standard issue intermodals with BNSF and UP. And the Sibley Coal train is sitting on the siding waiting for it's short trip to the plant. This was also a pretty dreary, overcast day. But I'm thinking it may have been warmer than usual or else I doubt I'd have gone after the oddball #4. Sunday I'll have the first of two ops video from Jon Percy's N scale Buffalo & Pittsburgh layout. Then it's finally back home to my own club in Odessa, MO, only been two months or so since I last posted anything from there. So like usual, more on the way, and thanks for watching!
