Amtrak's Sunset Limited - Another Stafford - Sugarland Chase, 7/15/09

Train #1 (Westbound)
Units: P42s #175 & #141
Consist: Usual 6 (2 Sleepers, Diner, Lounge, 2 Coaches) plus deadhead car (not engine as I said in the video) before the SAS pickup
Time: 10:21 pm and onward (again, ridiculously early to the locale)

While the first chase can be chalked up to novice ignorance, this one is due to novice stupidity - I honestly thought the freight I saw at the gas station was going to be ahead of Amtrak. Little did I know that there was still double track past that first crossing of Stafford to allow Amtrak to proceed.
