Here's my shot of the action near our house on a typical foggy day. An eastbound train of "dirty-dirt" gondolas allows us to see a westbound stacker on track 3, having just overtaken another westbound, a WEPX empty train, on the center track. It was foggy like this for the entire time I was there...

I guess it's too late...but I'll post this anyway
Carl, I'm not seeing a picture on your post

It is not a picture of a train, it is a picture of a fog.
