Do You See a Train?
Nah, I don't either. This is my attempt to shoot the CSX OCS as it crosses the drawbridge at St Joseph, Mi on its way to Grand Rapids. Missed it by "that much" to quote Maxwell Smart. Actually, it was by less than 10 minutes. We had been told that the train would leave Barr Yard at 0600, but it departed at 0500 instead. I remember while dispatching CSX at Calumet City how much confusion there was between CSX time and regular Central Daylight Time. I thought I had verified that the time was CDT and not CSX time, but somewhere along the line the ball got dropped, again. At least it was a nice morning in St Joe's; only wish I hadn't gotten out of bed at 0400 to enjoy it. And after being retired 11 years off CSX, the time confusion still haunts me.
