[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by kmatthews</i> <br /><br />Chased 3985 through NE Texas this afternoon. Light rains, heavy haze and fog made for some good for smoke and steam, digital camera had problems deciding what to focus on and light settings. Should have stuck to tried and true 35 SLR. <br /> <br />Train running a little behind the advertised, 10-15 min. late, but seemed to be making it up after it left Omaha, TX service stop. Heavy local turnout, Cotton Belt hasn't seen steam since the 819 last ran down to Tyler back about '93. Every grade crossing packed with folks... Anywhere the main road was within site it was bumper to bumper... Pays to plan ahead and have several out of the way spots picked out, well spaced out along the line. <br /> <br />Good luck to you furthur down the line! Good Hunting! <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote]I was going to get some shot from the old gladewater overpass just 2 blks east <br />of duncan st crossing in Tyler but to much rain no place for the kids <br />finnaly found a spot to park near the depot got some good shots got 1 from my house <br />I live next to the UP ex SSW line near the Hwy 271 overpass beside (brookshires) <br />southwest dairy plant one crossing behind keys fittness has a good view of the west <br />end of the last siding before tyler's UP yd <br /> <br /> <br />also I noticed a string of double stacks on the west end siding in Chandler 10 miles west <br />of tyler been there for a few weeks wonder whats the deal well i got to find a way to post some pics im on a library computer to po to buy one[8D]
