Rumbling Through Rumple
The trip to Deseret this summer started off the way any trip based out of central Illinois should: with a RoadRailer. Of course, nearly two months on, we can't get this again, but that just makes this trip all the more memorable. NS4814 is putting in the work on NS 255 as it leads its healthy string of trailers through Rumple.
We had timed things rather well, as we came down here probably just fifteen minutes ahead of the train and pulled up to the crossing here to find the NS 256, the opposing RoadRailer, sitting there waiting for the 255, but juuust out of place for a good shot with both trains in it. Still, a telesmashed Triple Crown with some codeline is alright with me. Things were certainly going well on day one of the trip, but there certainly was a bittersweet undertone to our photos of the RoadRailer as less than two weeks later, this train would run for its last time. Still, in the moment, things were very good.
