A Spirit, A Refuel, and A Slow Chase in Howell Yard

CSX #454 (aka Spirit Of Magnolia) is seen refueling in Howell Yard, a long way from home in mississippi. we even got a nice chat in with one of the fuel truck drivers in the meantime. Another train that was parked in the yard also gets up and moves out with the intermodal after its refueling.

wow... i could buy a used tractor-trailer for as much as it would cost to fill one of these up!

2500 gals didn't fill him up...they have a 3000 to 3500 gal cap...$10,000 would pay off my pu and maybe get me a redneck castle...so you want a rig...what cha wanna haul...if i could drive i'd want to do oversize...
