10 trains in one hour??? Sounds like you were in Elmhurst Illinois, there the UP runs triple track through downtown, and there is atrain every 10 minutes- talk about instant gratification![:D]

Thank you all for contributing- again[bow]

My dad and I are both very avid railfans. On a recent trip to Montana , we came across three brand new GEVOS, all painted in the brand new BNSF scheme, so we chased them for about two hours. The funny part is that we were driving our Jeep, and we were pulling a twenty-foot camper. I got great shots and it turned out to be one of our best- and oddest chases. Heck, the crew even coaught on to what we were doing, and took notice, they probably thought we were nuts... And maybe we are![;)]

Happy railfanning to all!

I can't believe there are so many MRL fans out there- I thought I was the only one. Have any of you ever been out there???
I have, and it was incredible, like nothing I have ever seen!
And those F45s! The last in the country!
