I convinced Craig to take us into McComb to shoot the L70 through the cemetery. We still arent sure why, but it took Fort Wayne forever to clear them up out of the siding. We ended up waiting much longer than we had hoped, but we did eventually get L70 doing every bit of trackspeed by the cemetery as planned. By this point, the light was about gone, and we planned to call it a day. Coming into Leipsic we did accidently miss 272 because Craig had locked out the Fostoria District frequency so we never heard it calling signals. But, it happens, so L70 ended up being our final train of the day. A slow day, but a good day with some good friends!
