Description
I caught up with ELS 1224 in Pembine, WI, as the crew began their day with a special surprise guest on board the vintage SD9! While I didn't recognize the young lady in the cab, the conductor's grandfather knew exactly who she was—and he was highly jealous that he didn't get the first ride!
It was hilarious mentioning the mystery passenger to Collin's grandfather right after he told me he'd be getting a cab ride soon. He immediately recognized her and went to confront the conductor (his grandson) in good fun!
Aside from the drama, there was plenty of railfan action today. ELS 1224 did a lot of switching on the CN interchange track, clearing it out and prepping the propane cars for the next train heading south. I eventually left the crew as they were switching on the CN main line. It looks like they’ll be heading back north on Monday morning, so we'll try to catch them then!
