ABS Current of Traffic |
Description: |
Rule 251 territory back in the day and Rule 9.14 territory nowadays - movement with the current of traffic is an aspect of railroading that is fast disappearing on many subdivisions with new signal installations. It still exists along a short segment of the Council Bluffs Sub between Mercer and Pacific Street. Spring is busting out allover as UP 4503 brings an eastbound manifest past the MP31 signals on a pleasant afternoon. |

Confirmation at Cienega Creek |
Description: |
After the eastbound passed, I found a spot on a hillside where I could watch it slowly coil its way through the desert landscape and, with luck, spy any westbounds approaching. I suppose a scanner would be wise, but after 40+ years of using and monitoring the radio Id just as soon listen to the birds. Well, I thought I was seeing the eastbound consist moving away off in the distance, and then noticed it was a westbound. So I scrambled down the hill and was blessed with a nice afternoon manifest. |
