Pipestone
On my western March trip I lucked into four chases through Jefferson Canyon in two days, two with the the Logan local and two with this stone train that I never expected to see. Here 4311, and 265 creep slowly forward as a front end loader dumps ballast onto the conveyor leading to a long drawn out process. It is hard to see but in the distance you can see a signal mast still standing back in the curve. It would take this crew several hours to load making for a long boring wait with a well worth it quick chase to Sappington.
