The last stop on our big trip was East Wayne yard to catch a couple locals. First we stopped to see what was sitting in the fuel racks. There wasnt much other than Elmer and Essie. Would have been nice to have caught L69 coming back with Essie leading since Nick hasnt heard the horn on it, but oh well.
