CSS 2005

I was not expecting to find the CSS heading into Stillwell instead of out of it, thus I waited until I could hear the horn to head to the crossing, and so I missed getting an up close shot of it.

My final picture of the stopped CSS local before heading home.

While heading back to the car, I got this shot of the two crossings here.

After the CSS crew left their train, we had a little chat and they gave me permission to take some shots actually on the tracks. Thanks to them!

When I headed to Stillwell to see if I could find the CSS local, I was shocked to find them stopped just in front of the crossing. Power was a LHF CSS 2005 and 2003.

I waited for over an hour for this, but at least the FURX leaser was trailing.
