Train beats me
Title:  Train beats me
Description:  Q696 beat me to Lattimore where I had hoped to get a picture of it crossing the location of the old Southern Peavine line (SB line), the one unit wonder is struggling up hill. Incidently, there is a new CSX detector at mp SF-391.2, instead of saying "NINE" in the broadcast, it says "Niner". Whats up with that?
