Early Friday morning me, Mitchell, and his dad headed out to the shack aka lookout point. When we got there a WB train was on its way on track one. After the two WB trains left we went to MockingBird Lane to catch the Southwest Chief in action. I was surprise I didnt see any coal trains in La Plata during those days which was good. It was just high speeed trains with horn action. I had a really good time there hanging out with Mitchell and his pops. Well we all had a good time there even though we hardly did get any sleep. That Friday we railfan La Plata till 11pm. Here are the trains I caught there.
