Unexpected northbound |
| Description: |
I set up alongside Mansfield Road to see if anything happened along. In amazingly short order, I heard the distant wail of an airhorn... but to my surprise, it was coming from the south! A moment later this northbound unit coal train roared past on the normally south-only Rabbit Line, with KCS/BNSF power up front, and CN/BNSF pushers in back. |

Shoving cuts in the Riverside Yard |

Union Pacific Riveside Yard is a bit battered looking and often seems deserted, but still sees use as a staging ground for southbound freights. |

Lucky Catch |
| Description: |
If I am heading towards downtown, I often will take Mansfield Road instead of the highway, just for the pleasure of driving alongside the old Rabbit Line and the off chance of catching a train. It paid off this time. I had maybe 1 minute from seeing the headlights to pull over and set up. |
