On March 26, it was my bi-weekly Thursday off of work. My girlfriend, Cierria, wanted to go train watching in Ferguson with me, but we did not get to go until 3 since we were visiting a friend in nearby Florissant. We arrived too late as Train #285 was hovering over Florissant Rd. But not too late to catch NS 5143 hauling D53 toward St. Louis, and definitely not too late to pose her next to the fence as D53s engineer gave a friendly wave and a honk as it passed us. |
