Should have took advantage of the weather and worked on my Challenge project. But hey, boys will be boys. Took a trip Friday to Norfolk Southern’s Old Fort loops. Stopped at Greenlee on the way and spotted this MOW Gradall.
Stopped at Andrew’s Geyser at the Old Fort Loops. This is a nice shoot location as you are between two of the loops and can shoot each train twice.
Unfortunately, Andrew’s Geyser was Andrew’s Spidle this particular day. You can barely make out the track about half way through the tree line.
The Geyser being turned off was probably an omen, as we spent all day and never saw one train 
Must have been some track work going on. On a typical day we’d have seen at least a couple of trains in each direction. Here is the view looking across the Geyser the other direction.
Friday night after we returned my brother hit a big buck and totaled his truck. I told him it was his fault we didn’t see any trains, as he was obviously having a bad MoJo day 
Sunday I ran trains. The 4-4-0 pulled the SVL coaches for a bit, but was retired early due to front pilot derailments.
The Annie’s had no derailment issues.
Shame about the truck, but venison stew is always good on a cold day
