As some of you may already know, Most class 1's Railroads Hustle & Bustle (Bend some Iron as they call it)
Many trains & freight cars the morning half of the Holiday.... Allowing time off for some of it's employees.
This is the time to bench the mainline!!
Thanks to our two big Canadian carriers & the UP, plenty of action is to be had on a
Thanksgiving morning- I benched 15 mainline trains in 2.5 hours!!
(0945-1220), and know I missed at least two or three others (including a
reefer consist on UP's Adams line). In addition to action on CN (WC) and CP
(Soo), I shot a great amount of Boxcar Art in transit..
The action dried up after 13:00-
By then I seemed to have the railroad all to myself,
Now that the yards are close to being dead, it's time to do some yard benching!!
The day after the holiday is also a great time to get out & bench because
All the trains that the dispatcher put in the hole will make for a day of parading trains.....
Here are some of the catches from that day & this month enjoy!
