Three Northbounds
On Friday the day after Thanksgiving I had some business at Hodge Yard, and afterwards I stopped off at Tower 60. I barely had time to get out of the car before the BNSF 5525 North came by on Choctaw Main 1 in sunlight on its way to North Yard with automobile frames behind the trailing SD40-2.
A southbound at Northside was told by DS22 he would be waiting on a northbound train approaching Tower 55, but thirty minutes later as the sun vanished into the clouds a northbound empty UP coal train arrived first on Choctaw Main 1.
A few minutes later before the DPU on the empty coal passed my location the BNSF 7769 North rolled by in the foreground on the Fort Worth Sub.
While the northbound BNSF was still passing by I drove over the river to the park on the south side for the next train.
