Powers job
I made more than one questionable decision in my railfan adventures, this is one I really kick myself for. I had just shot the Antoine turn leaving town on the tight curve that leads from the new ore yard to the number 5 and 6 ore yards in Escanaba when this Escanaba-Powers turn crept around the corner right on his tail. The GP30's sometimes turned up in Escanaba when power was tight but this was my only one to ever catch moving on a train. Common sense would say I should have followed this job and the Antoine turn to Powers at least, but nope I choose to head toward Partridge because there was at least 3 loads coming down that afternoon. Probably one of my poorer decisions!
