WE 7025
Title:  WE 7025
Description:  With genuinely no idea what to do now, I decided that I was going to grab CSX trains west of Willard and get as far as I could before dark. That was before I heard the Wheeling Dispatch give a track warrant to WE 228 leaving Bellevue eastbound. It was a risk to drive that far, but thanks to the helpful aid of Matt Arnold, I took the risk, and ended up beating the train to the Laylin Road crossing east of Norwalk. I met Matt there as well, and we began chasing the train east.

WE 7025
Title:  WE 7025
Description:  The crew was instructed to take the train to Brighton siding north of Wellington instead of tying it down in Hartland, which gave us a chance to shoot the train under the massive grain elevator at West Clarksfield, a bucket list shot I have been wanting for some time. Due to slow orders, the train would have been easy to continue chasing, but I decided against it and parted ways with Matt and began heading back west. At least there was one upside to this day.

WE 7024
Title:  WE 7024
Description:  But, the day STILL wasnt over, as when I arrived back in Willard, Wheeling 238 keyed up CSX and told them they were ready to make a dash to the New London connection. I backtracked a little further to the east again, but ended up finding no color that really suited my interest until right outside of Greenwich (a place I had kept telling myself I wouldnt go to today). The train creeped around the curve and ended up stopping for two trains on the B-Line ahead, one of which was already crossing when I made it there.

CSX 4746
Title:  CSX 4746
Description:  With one more still to cross on CSX, I decided to go into town, and Im glad I did. Next up was CSX M363 with a duo of fairly brand new rebuilt SD70MACs on the head end, and not only that, but the trees downtown looked great. This was the win I needed all day and I finally got it.

WE 7024
Title:  WE 7024
Description:  I was hoping to get 238 splitting the trilights, but it was too quick for me. So, a shot of it slinging around the curve will do. After this, I bid goodbye to CSX and began making my way towards home. I did, however, decide to stop in Plymouth to see if a crew had come to retrieve the Ashland. Sure enough, the train was gone. Go figure.

CFE 2132
Title:  CFE 2132
Description:  It was still a little to early to get supper at any of the stops along US 30 on the way home, so I decided to go home via Decatur, something I usually dont do when I come home from this direction. Man, am I glad I did though. The closer I approached Decatur I could hear the CFE Decatur Local working. Bunge builds CFEs entire train now, so I knew there was a slight chance if I was hearing this much switching going on that they might be down at Tenki-Plex on the west side of town on a small stretch of the former Erie Lackawanna. I went down there and didnt find them, and I almost gave up, but I looked to my right along US 27 and noticed lights blinking at the Adams Street crossing. I dashed for the tracks and sure enough the train consisting of two geeps and a single car from Tenki-Plex were getting ready to shove back toward Bunge. I quick attached my flash on my D610 and ran toward the depot, and prayed I would be able to get a good shot of the train passing the depot. And, sure enough, I did. In all my life living in this area, there has only been one other time Ive seen a train pass the depot, which was already over five years ago. This day was beyond disappointing, but the small wins scattered in it here and there were so welcome!
