Pulling up
Title:  Pulling up
Description:  While I was shooting the H train arriving, I heard another train call the signal at North Watts, then call the H train. Crap, another one!! I sped up to where I could pee the Illinois River bridge, only to find the southbound Q train was already halfway across. A minute sooner, Id have had the head end coming off the bridge in good light, about the last place I could get it. I turned around and headeh back to the yard offlice, catching the train pulling up, having to hold since the H train had left his back end trailing through the south end switch. This was my fourth train today, pretty good for a couple hours in the afternoon.
