SRS 131
Title:  SRS 131
Description:  I got word that Wheeling 221 and 237 were almost back to back out of Brewster, and with the sun now setting, and nothing much happening on CSX, I was thinking about heading back to Spencer for at least 237 before calling it a day. But, thats when I heard something pop up on the scanner that immediately changed the outcome of the afternoon. "SRS 131" was calling signals on the Big 4. Knowing that was a Sperry Car, I made a dart for New London. Sure enough, I was right, and I decided to finish my day off with it. W004, as it was symboled, splits the trilights at New London.

SRS 131
Title:  SRS 131
Description:  Thankfully, the train had to slow down over the crossovers and diamond at Wellington, which gave me a chance to redeem the cantilever shot I messed up earlier in the day. With a much better subject on top of that!
