PNWR 3051
Title:  PNWR 3051
Description:  PNWR 3051 nose stuck to a paying customer, which I managed to snag a shot or two of her before the walk back to the car. I presume this is why people believe in cell phones as I couldve called the wife who I left in the car (back in the parking lot Id slid into after seeing lights in the distance on the rails). Then again, I wouldnt have got to jog down the greenway to the bridge... that I stationed myself by... for quite some time... standing in the mud... in the drizzle... before noticing the lights mightve been going further away from me... so the jog down the greenway... to the episode listed above. So, if I had a phone, I wouldnt have got the benefit of walking all that way back to the car. Which gave me time to catch my breath so the wife wouldnt think I was having a coronary. Luckily she couldnt see all the running up and down the side of the road through all this and could only wonder why it looked like I had mud all over my feet and claimed Id had enough train chasing for the day.
