Final Gas

Chasing what I knew would be my final gas train under MRL ownership, I was excited when the forecast called for full sun. However, as is typical in the Missoula area, it turned into low lying fog and rainy skies. The day before, I was thinking about how I had never shot a standard cab on this job and how neat that would be to cap it all off. The odds however, were extremely low. But, as Han Solo once said, "Never tell me the odds." First, the normal gas power was pulled out to be readied for a business car trip the next day. An LM set was used in their place, a dirty set of ACe's. Yuck, but what could I do? Then they had some bad luck while on the night gas, causing them to die online. This required Missoula to scramble and put together the only two spare engines they had, one being the 263! The weather was mostly as mentioned, but as I ran across a field the sky opened up and I got the sunny shot I had been after! There were more neat shots, but this was the only one with sun. 8 days left and I finally checked off another on my list.
