The Habit of Thankfulness: A Few of My Favorite Things

May 15th- A few of my favorite things...
~Caravaning to see the train stop far down the track on the north track...
~Wait its turn for Amtrak to pass by on the south track ...
~Then slowly switch the long CSX Train onto the south track

Our long caravan


CSX stopped on the north track...something is coming from the west


Canadian Maple Leaf Amtrak train heading eastward on the south track




Trains passing...Amtrak heads east.


Slowly the CSX moved westward and switched to the south track and headed on it way...


The beginning of a long switch


And the cars kept coming slowly as they switched sides...then it sped up on its westward journey.
