I counted at least 12 cows when I first told you about it Larry. Now, I guess they have moooove on to other areas. Sure was an "eye opener" to view!

Arrival of train 215:


Those black ones are pesky a night when you drive through there. 20mph or less with them on the highway.

Arrival of train 215: 489 and 7 cars. Based on Larry's posts this morning, it was the New Mexico set that left and the Colorado set came in this afternoon, so the locomotives were swapped at Osier.
