A Slow Rollin' Low
Canadian Pacific's westbound hot double stack train got put on ice for a bit as they crossed the 137 hotbox detector and got hit for a hot wheel 150 axles back. Turns out someone tampered with the retainer valve and set it to high pressure. I was at Walton road for a photo and got one, but then the detector forced an inspection, so naturally I went to Bobolonk rd bridge. After this photo, we caught him again at Maiden Lane and Tamarack. as Amtrak's westbound Empire Builder was now in the picture. Four sets in about five miles (fifteen miles by road), that's not too shabby I guess.
