The Real Terminator
Sleds
After B09 got out of Harbor Belt territory, I initially planned on chasing them toward Otis to get some last light glint. But I was hesitant because I read that this crew is normally on duty at 0500, which set them up to certainly run out of time before then. So I made a rash decision to change course and head to very unscenic Pine Junction a mere three miles east of the last shot. And wouldn't you know that they certainly did not go on at 0500 - as sure enough I received word that they had hit Otis Hill in the golden light. Oh well, at least I caught them, and more shots for another day!
Here's a better look at the -coil- aspect of the coil train. This night saw 41 loads on the train, with each sled having between 5 and 8 coils. Lots and lots of steel!
