Headed out to Duplainville for what was supposed to be a sunny day on Saturday Sept 1, 2012. However the remnants of Hurricane Isaac kept things cloudy but comfortable temps.

Trains were really running. 18 trains in 6 hours. Including several meets on the Canadian Pacific.

Thanks, nice to see what I'm missing. I'll have to get out there some day. For now I'll stick to chasing coal trains on the Shoreline. LOL
