Waiting
Title:  Waiting
Description:  I went out this morning hoping to catch P59 switching sand hoppers (something I dont know if they still do or not). Instead this is what I got. the train (two geeps, a boxcar and two tankers) was sitting at Jackson Paper. Shortly there after the locos pulled forward across Chipper Curve road and stopped here. The Conductor and Brake(Wo)man moved to the high hood and the engineer disembarked, crossed Main Street and walked on towards downtown. Where he went, I have no idea.

Chasing P59
Title:  Chasing P59
Description:  After switching the track, the brakeman guides the train back across the crossing to get the other three tanks. The Geep really hit the crossing plates hard, making for a rather loud scrape. I really wish I had been recording.
