Glass at the Pass.
Southbound CN Coal Buckets slow roll over Manchac Pass, Louisiana, on a calm spring afternoon. This C738 was running headlong into the wake of an Amtrak-fueled mess that saw them, and nine other trains, tangle for time around the 10mph wye at Orleans, Junction. The coal buckets would law out on the main inside the massive Valero Refinery along the Mississippi River a few hours later having covered a mere ten miles as the crow flies. Here, I was just glad that the clouds, which had been pesky all afternoon long, budged enough to allow for some nice light on the train...
Thanks for looking!
