Extra Special Location
Foreign Power leader brings NS Train M12 out of the Berkeley Pass at CP Robertson, which is one of the few remaining Cantilever signals on ex-Wabash trackage.
Good lighting at this location is hard to get. Only about a month's time in the spring and fall and for only about an hour each afternoon. There's also the additional challenge of encroaching foliage which grows over the summer and obscures the cantilever, making last year's mid-April evening just about the perfect time.
-UP AC44CWCTE #5765, UP SD70ACe #8453, NS C40-9W #9225 leading power
-NS Train #M12
-NS St. Louis District, CP S16.9 Robertson
