Golden light tease
Title:  Golden light tease
Description:  A train calling themselves T4R was working the yard, and I assumed they'd eventually do what they usually do and take the Horicon train out toward Chicago, so I sat along that line for a while. Eventually I pieced together what they were actually doing, which was taking the local to Monroe! Unfortunately, by the time I realized this they'd beaten me to the crossing on Rockport Road, so I hauled @$$ to get ahead of them only for them to stop short of Hanover Road to wait for MoW of some sort to give back the track. Oh well, my long-hood-forward curse with 4219 (unique on the WSOR for its CP-style headlight mounted on the short hood, and red goose logo below it) held firm anyway.
