Checkmate.
Unfortunately, the NS crew on this coal drag was obviously not a fan of people lineside, as was exhibited by turning off the ditchlights in Whiting. Fortunately for me, they can’t (legally) do that over a public crossing like Lumber Street.
And even with the ditchlights being turned off almost immediately after going over the crossing, I was still able to walk away with a useable frame.
BNSF 9650, the only Executive paint SD70MAC with both PTC and a Wagon Wheel logo, takes an empty Detroit Edison set over the lift bridge at CP 21st Street. The crew was along the ride since Toledo, and would soon get swapped for a (much nicer) BNSF crew at Western Avenue.
