Uncooperative sun light
With a weather forecast of cloudy and spotty showers all night, I set my sights on a slightly early eastbound running Iowa Interstate SIBI train operating in the first slot normally reserved for CBBI trains. This evenings move was known to have the Rock Island heritage pairing of GE's 513 and 516. The only hiccup, was the cloud line ending right as the train got track onto the CSX New Rock Sub in Utica, leaving nothing but sunny skies for the remainder of the day until sunset. As fun as this hobby is, sometimes you are not dealt the ideal hand and you just need to make it work.
