Album Info:As I was leaveing the warehouse after my local run today, I saw the headlights of an approaching train. as I heard it blowing for some crossings out of sight, it had a very strange horn. when it came into view, I saw a hint of white, and I was thinking, a BNSF Whiteface GP30, sweet. but then I saw it was not even a locomotive. "Ah ****!" and I started running farther back for a better shot. Low and behold, right in front of my eyes was the FRA Department of Saftey Rail inspection car. What a sight! Following it was UP Train MCHTR with 3134 on the point.
