HD: 3/4/16 Chasing The Monongahela NS 8025 leads NS 112

Описание: I caught my last and final heritage unit that day. Norfolk Southern 8025 (Monongahela) Heritage Unit got assigned to be on the point of NS 112 from Knoxville, TN to Kansas City, KS BNSF Argentine Yard. My girlfriend and I went to Centralia, IL to wait for because I was going to get it again in few other spots. Around 12:30pm NS 112 was sitting at Centralia East because the BNSF and CN had train traffic on their tracks. After a CN and BNSF Northbound cleared the IC crossing, the BNSF toned up NS 112 to get a track warrant from Westbound Control Signal IC Crossing to Eastbound CTC Centralia. After getting their warrant from the BNSF, the conductor on NS 112 toned up the CN Dispatcher to get permission to cross their tracks, and the CN Dispatcher gave them the signal indication to proceed West. NS 112 is creeping thru Centralia, IL at 10mph. Once NS 112 got to Beech Street, the conductor toned up his dispatcher to get track authority. The dispatcher told them to take the siding at New Baden to meet NS 223. After the tail end of NS 112 went by Broadway I quickly got into my car and booked it to Bartelso, IL to get it again. NS 112 was slowing down thru Albers, Il because they had to stop their train at the East End Switch at New Baden to line the track into the siding. I then went to Shiloh, IL to catch it one more time. What great chase it was for my last heritage unit.
