Love that bridge shot.

How do you go about finding out when the trains will be running? I've got good opportunities to catch some local switching near where I work, but is it just being lucky to be there at the right time?

I go looking for them. The active portion of the line is only 20 miles long so it's pretty easy to go crossing-to-crossing until I find the train. I also live two blocks from it so if the windows are open I can hear a train in town and give pursuit.

That's how I been chasing short lines for years..

The only hard chase was R.J.Corman out of St.Marys..I never knew if he went toward Celina or Minster..Of course one time they completely fooled me they made the trip to Lima first!
