For what ever reason, 452 ran 9 hours behind schedule today, but honestly, who could mind! It came minutes before 4449 showed up. The local stopped at the signal bridge shown in the first scene due to a diverging clear, which was very strange seeing how the previous train had cleared the block long before this guy showed up. They were talking about putting the train in the yard, which got all of us excited, but then they decided to get the switching over with and try to make it out before the Southern Pacific were to come through. So they switched from M3 to M2 so that they could drop the Blue Bonnet on the main, and placed the single hopper in the siding, then came back with 3193 (A Blue Bonnet GP50) leading the light unit move back to Eola.
Pictures to be coming soon.
