I went with Ken Williamson's photo.  Coils are fairly common as loads around here but uncovered coils shipped in a mill gon are a bit unusual.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Great pictures this morning. In the one military train, the green "tanks" are actually USMC LAVs. For some odd reason, the Marines tend to keep things green. :) No, I'm not bashing the Marines. Love the variety. In the other, we see part of an artillery unit, most likely from Ft Sill, OK. Near the front of the line of cars are M577s and further back appear to be M270s. Great photographs.
