I'm not sure what this train was doing. It was either laying down or picking up track. They had plenty of guys on the train and plenty of track on the train...so your guess is as good as mine.

You will see in some of the photos the insulator line I was following and picking from that day. The guys on the train saw my pole and backpack, but just waved and said hello as they went by on a slow bell. Seemed like a good group of guys.
