That was the best. A dozen 645's strung throughout the train screaming their lungs out for an hour before they showed up. Frazier was the best place for the show. You could hear them all the way down below McCredie, down below you as they looped up through Fields and then you could hear them until they tucked into the tunnel at Cruzatte. Not the same with quieter 710's, no mid trains and GE's galore sloshing along.
Still love the Lewis & Clark expedition members naming convention of the sidings.
