This is the front of the coal train that was seen earlier in the day, coming off the Northfork Branch. Nice to see an SP every now and again. The guy up on the bridge is "SD45X" (on the forums), he thought there was a good angle up there. |

Big Jack |
| Description: |
Randomly woke up at 3am and saw that it was leaving an hour before the original time. So we got up early and headed to find it. Surprisingly it was parked at the depot, which worked well for us. Kind of rude of the crew though, another train met it and the 6936 didn't even dim its headlights and blinded the crew of the oncoming train. |

Air Test |
| Description: |
At this time the crew came over the radio and was doing an air test in preperation for its eastward departure. Just after departing though, they came over the radio again and said they had just went into EMERGENCY, so much for a good air test. Wored for us though, gave us a few more minutes to get ahead and time for the sun to come up. |
