BNSF 6885
Title:  BNSF 6885
Description:  After an hour and a half roam earlier today and not seeing anything I called it quits and went home. Not 20 minutes after I sit down at the computer I hear the detector in town go off "10 Axles, Speed 50mph" Son of a &%*$@..... A minute later I hear "BNSF 6885 Set and Center" JACKPOT!!!!!! They had tripped a ground relay from all the snow allowing me the perfect chance to get ahead of them and get ONE shot. Traffic screwed me shortly after this, plus they were going 50 and I could hardly do that in the pickup.
