A westbound, and I am too close to capture all the units. I didn't know so many were coming. There is some notice that trains are coming. From the west, you can hear them blow horns for crossings. From the east, there is an axle scanner with a radio report. |
| It's the CP set that has been working in the area. |
| tons of steel rolling overhead at 20 mph doesn't deter the boaters. |

You don't need a boat to get good pictures. Gills Landing is in the backyard of a local tavern and a medium power lens should create a good view. Dog language in the county park / boat landing. |
