I do love the Happy Honker(s) of Chehalis, and it was nice to see some trains in Laramie. And yes, I did catch myself yelling "Run, Bambi, run!" Glad they both stayed safe. Thanks for another great one!

It is one of CSX series of heritage units which in this case honors the Monon, which primarily connected Chicago and Louisville, and was acquired by L&N in 1971.

Fifth! There's (as I'm posting this) only four other comments, so at least I finished top 5. Edit: 7:23 not a smart move. Not only did he try to run the crossing, but actually stayed on the track until Amtrak cleared the crossing. If a train came up behind him, he would probably have end up being measured for a pair of wings and given a harp.

FYI: I asked them to show the names of the cars. Just like fallen flag cars, it adds a little more flavor as history rolls by. There maybe a car that has YOUR NAME on it🤔. Maybe your hometown, so quite complaining and learn something.
