CSS 109
Title:  CSS 109
Description:  Iust as soon as NS 52Z cleared we heard our next South Shore train approaching so we rushed over to the South Shore tracks to get it. NS and South Shore parrallel each nther between the outskirts of New Carlisle and South Bend closely so it was easy to move between the two. Sadly, the very high humidity caused my lense to begin to fog up which started happening right before this train came. South Shore 7 rockets east continuing its journey to the South Bend Airport.

CP 8786
Title:  CP 8786
Description:  Next we got up to Millersburg before meeting up with CP 140 again. They stopped therd because, to our suprise over on the other side of town, was a Sperry Railcar working its way towards us. We took some more photos of this train, but they got the clear to continue east so we frossed over to the other side so the Sperry car wouldnt be blocked out by the CP train. But then we learned that the only reason that the CP train continued on was because the Sperry?Railcar had stopped to allow it to pass. This would be the final time we would see CP 140.

Description:  And from NS 21G came the chase of a lifetime. We had left the CP 395 signals and heard on the scanner the sound on a train callini signals. We figured it was NS 21G but we were wrong. It was eastbound NS 14Q with a CN leading. It had gotten in front of us at Wawaka. So to attempt to try to catch the tqain, which never slowed down below 50 MPH we chased the train from Ligonier to just east of Waterloo just barely beating it!
