    They really need to fix the boarding situation at Ashland. Nothing there tells you which side your train will pull up on, and the trains will switch sides throughout the day. When I visited, they told me the only way to know was to wait for the train to be close and look down the tracks and see what side the headlight’s on. If a freight train is running, there’s nothing you can do but miss your train.

    For nearly 50 years old the Rock Island hoppers looked in remarkably good. Also a pink Klemme Co-Op hopper. Painted pink so yardmasters would hate to see them and get them out of their sight as soon as possible. Or on a more negative moment when the car got lost in a yard it was easier to find, In those days it was not unusual for enraged shippers to enter the yard to find "their" car and take the problem face to face with the yard master.

    11:16 not only did this driver drive towards an oncoming train, but almost hit a pedestrian before that! looks like they need to be re-tested on their driving!
    12:31 John Deere tractors
    12:55 Rock Island hoppers
    13:35 Williamette & Pacific SD9, still in SP gray. This unit was built in 1955, rebuilt to SD9E specs in 1975, became a W&P unit in 1994, and was sold in January 2024 at the request of the EPA
    14:08 WOW! Amtrak 161 'Arrow", 203 in Operation Lifesaver livery, and two freshly overhauled LA metrolink cars on the Southwest Chief. (again at 17:00) I saw pictures of this amazing consist in Kansas City, but did not see it myself.
