Switching Caffey
Three and a half years before the prior shot I caught train 911 making a rather rare stop at Caffey with 807, 383 and 717. The units were parked in such a way that required me to shoot with a garbage wide angle lens to avoid placing the crossing signals between me and 807. It was late afternoon on November 5, 1977 and the sun was about to drop into a cloud bank while the units sat pumping air on there late running 111 car train. After spending a good part of 75 and early 76 in storage the U-boats were back on the main making appearances east of Gladstone. About a year after this shot I seen my last SOO U30C go through Trout Lake. I've seen shots of them working in 1979 but none ventured east of Gladstone that I ever was aware of after November 1978.
