MRL 401, 406 - a photo on Flickriver

MRL 401, 406

            We got back on the highway and headed towards Harrison, hoping for a couple shots along the way. One of the shots we wanted was from the overpass at Sappington. He goes pretty fast until the split at Sappington from what we were told. 

So, when we rounded the corner outside of town and saw him also approaching, the rental got a bit of a workout to beat it there. We did though, only a few seconds before he came past, but that's all we needed.

Once he was passed, we jumped back in and got back on the road. We were able to get it once more at a spot where I learned how easy the new drone is to setup and where Sam learned what a rattlesnake sounds like while trying to pee. Good times. 

Funny enough, when we were talking to the conductor previously, he mentioned that he was from Edgemont, South Dakota. Get this--the brakemen was from Lincoln. 

Aren't you a little far from home?
