7/1/09: Monday's loaded auto train 18N went up the west slope at 7:15AM, and of course...I slept in that day. Normally I could care less about missing an autorack train, but when the autorack train in question had a SOLID and I mean SOLID lashup of Conrail blues for power...yea, you get it.

BUT!! Life is full of second chances, and I took my second chance and RAN with it. Heads up from o00o00ozy's area told that that same lashup of power would be running back west on Wednesday's 11J, 18N's empty counterpart. The weather was shit, I was wet, but I stayed and waited em out anyway. I chose Cassandra to shoot em, 1) because of the "classic-ness" of the spot, and 2)...because its got SHADE and TREE COVER!!

Who ever thought you could still find an all blue lashup more than 10 years after the takeover??
