I should have been more clear that I was referring to their radio frequency. There had been some question recently as to whether or not 160.275 was still being used by STMA. Roger, Sean and Amy mentioned seeing you. Needless to say, he decided to blow off the passenger special out of the UP Yard (which they said might not go past Chester anyway)in order to chase the Turn. After three trips out of CdA Junction yesterday, the special went north and did a few trips out of Sandpoint. It finally came back south just after sundown. We rode the 11am trip, which wound up being very late due to the late return of the 10am trip, speed being hampered by a joint warrant at the junction with the Trentwood Local, which cleared onto the south leg of the wye, and then both having to wait for a southbound manifest. One dome was off limits due to no a.c., and the one we rode in bounced and galloped like a rodeo bronco.
