that's the way it was when the train went by me, it must have been held up somewhere, as it did not go by me till 9:30 pm last night

yea I was told it was 20 minutes away from KC when i heard about it and it took over an hour. I was lucky to get it because I was at SF junction, the train bypassed SF junction, and my dad took my ride to go pick up my mom. So I was vehicleless when I heard about it, luckily somebody else was also there and took me down to where I got it. If he wasn't there I would've been out of luck and I wouldn't have been in a good mood if I missed this.

Yea, I remember being glued to my scanner last saturday, waiting for it to depart the Salina Ks yard, when it did, I was very happy, caught it in 2 different spots. I'll be ready for it when it comes back east

Heading to Colby, Kansas, I'll keep everyone updated for when it comes back west as the DPU.
