Finally Leading! And In Good Sun...

Finally got the chance to catch the Central of Georgia Heritage Unit as leader (there's several of it trailing throughout my stream) and it was a nice sunny day! One problem was that NS 224 was heading west out of St. Louis...in the morning.

 

But, I didn't really have anything to do, so I was in it for the long-run. Starting at Ferguson, I pursued all the way until (ultimately) Wakenda, 204 (railroad) miles west of St. Louis. At some point, I predicted that the shot of the last (going west) Searchlight remaining on the St. Louis District would be the "money shot" of the day. I think I was pretty right about that.

 

Thanks to EA for the headsup on the unit being in the area!
