Railfanning Portage 11/15/09

I went to stoughton again to help my mom find the daycare, we got there and called Andy he said there was no sign of the MAJ, so he picked me up and we went to Madison to the railyard and saw MP15 1503 running light back and coupling up to a long line of cars and he just sat there. Andy said lets go to portage we arrived at portage And heard on the scanner that a train was going to take Portage East Siding we got and im trying to find a spot and Andy said hey look there he was coming I quickly got into a spot in time to get a shot of him going past. Please enjoy rate and comment

Sweet video! Great horn action, and I've never railfanned at Portage besides the time when the CP Holiday Train stopped by in Portage! Damn in this video there is a RJ Corman boxcar! Excuse my language.... LOL!

Yeah that is true looked like there was only 5 engines there 1503 and what looked like 4 other units further down

1 MP15AC is awfully stingy for MAJ power. I'm pretty sure that was the afternoon PdC turn sitting on the main and they had just got done putting it together and were pumping air on it for the later crew.

Thanks Andy yup I wonder if the MAJ left earlier then we hoped? or if 1503 was going to be the MAJ?

Yay we got a train lol. They make a nice sound when they get going on jointed rail. Don't get that too often anymore.
