Title:  Southbound UP Loaded Coal Train at the BNSF Crossing
Description:  After easing up to the gate, UP Train 2CNAAE 27 stops at the BNSF crossing shortly after a BNSF Train had passed by. We arrived 1 hour and 45 minutes and 14 miles after I got on at Parma. This would turn out to be the last time I shot a train on this particular stretch of the New Madrid Sub.
