153 cars!

Was planning on posting this yesterday, but it didn't work out that way.  Anyway, I thought I had missed this train, it normally comes through town around 5:30pm, but not this time.  This train usually isn't quite this large either, and usually only has two units, with maybe a DPU.

This time they packed on the power up front and better yet, it's an all Gray consist lead by a couple TFM SD70MACs.  This is something becoming more rare all the time, especially with this many units.  The Gray Scheme is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Chris heard this one coming, and fortunately, it was going slow enough as it reached the crest of the hill here just past Main Street, that I had just enough time to get there to film it.  By the time the end of the train passed by, it was flying at 45-50mph.

I also just got home from filming another KCS here in town too.  Same two TFM units along with a Belle GP38-2.

That's it for now, keep watching... more on the way!

Oh yeah, on my facebook page, I am posting larger versions of the thumbnails for each video I post.  So if you'd like to see btter images, go have a look.  Link is below...
