Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) 8763 - GE ES44AC

I had to stop for gas, and the train got away on me, so I didnt get it at Gentry or Siloam. I finally caught him as he was pulling into Watts, in the shadow of Bakery Feeds. He met a nortbound empty TXUX train here, and work the yard.

The 262 is now south of Decatur, working hard as he climbs the 1.7% to the top at MP 219.

I had heard the dispatcher call a lite power set that was going to work a swap on a train that was in the siding at Dorsey. While that was going on, the 262 showed up, and the chase was on.
