Taken at Big Muddy Levee Road just on the Jackson-Union county line. This is the same train taken in Gorham...how about that? :)

Me & a friend of mine wanted a shot of this train at track speed for our video, so we chased the train from Gorham to Halsey

Yeah, it's not quite fun shooting the train at a crawl.:) This was also the exact location I videotaped my first train, back in August. I also frequent Gorham too.

Maybe one of these days we will run across each other up there. I haven't been up there in a while, since most of the predecessor power is gone now, but I will be back up there anyway. UP does run quite a bit of foreign & lease power on this sub as well, which is another reason I want to come back up there.

Last time I was in Gorham (11/26), I had the good fortune to get a UP northbound on the Mt. Vernon Sub led by IC 6071... leading a B40-8 and a new SD70M. If I can figue how to transfer the video to my computer and get a still, you might see it here in the near future...
