    That and maybe a 4 or 5 way train meet is a Railfan’s dream. Nice train meet! I still go to my favorite train watching location here in NY and me and my friends have a great time at that spot. I think I got 7 trains in 1 hour once. That day I saw 7 in 1 hour I believe they had 4 or 5 trains meet at CP 382 because of how much was running they had to do certain stuff to get trains going to their destination.

    That's awesome gentlemen. Can you tape a freight train with a caboose at the end? You sẻe them at the state borders for long hauls. Other places they use a caboose once in a blue moon not too often. The deliveries they make are local runs.
