East control point/County Highway P at 1644. I've caught several of the BNSF Dash 9s that have been frequenting the CP in Wisconsin of late, nice to get an EMD on the point. I'd seen this train slowly creeping east in the yard, so I drove to the east side of Portage and waited around a while, to no avail. I then drove to the west end in anticipation of 199 and 651's eventual departures, so of course that was when THIS train dialed up the dispatcher to verify his TGBO, give his counts and go. I had to haul @$$ all the way back through town and barely got set up in time. |
