I had gone up to the recycle station to do my bit to save the planet, when I saw a set of headlights to the north as I crossed Lincoln Av. A closer look showed that the train was stopped up near Country Club, which meant he was waiting north of town, so as not to block crossings while he waited for the northbound to get in range. I camped out at Tahlequah St; ten minutes later, heres the southbound TXUX train splitting the signal as it holds the main, rolling 125 cars of Wyoming black diamonds to Texas.
