My First Time Seeing 40
Title:  My First Time Seeing 40
Description:  I am not a morning person, so Amtrak 40 usually isnt on my radar to catch. But on this day, NS 257 had NS 1800 on it, so I went out early to catch that, and ended up seeing 40 by accident.

The Era Of Mr. Scam Is Over
Title:  The Era Of Mr. Scam Is Over
Description:  NS 1800 and I have a reputation of the unit always managing to evade my grasp in one way or another. Running at night, running early in the morning, getting rerouted, and even me being on trips when it passed, etc. I hauled myself out of bed early in the morning, drove through the snow and sat at the depot freezing my butt off for an hour, but I finally got it.

Beansniffer
Title:  Beansniffer
Description:  There were a few railfans at the depot on this freezing day, and we were watching the Chesterton Cam to see what was coming, and NS 266 passed. When I called the two BNSF GEVOs "Beansniffers" they burst out laughing. You can thank the Winnipeg Railfan for that one.
