This was pure luck this morning. I had to get a haircut in the area and driving back I noticed a W&LE freight heading south. Well I pulled in parking lot of Glenwillow Grille and got out and noticed that there were 2 units pushing 663 south into the siding crossing Pettibone Rd. Well as the units got closer, sure enough, it was W&LE Rio Grande GP40-3 #302 and W&LE High Hood GP35-3 #110. Anyway, I knew he would come back north after dropping the first 10 cars. So I walked over to the W&LE Glenwillow Depot and sat on one of there benches and waited for him to come back north. So I got some photos as he was backing north and that was the best part because the sun came out. Well they switched the switch after out of the siding and came back south. Well along the way just before Pettibone, they stopped and one crewman got out and checked the siding switch and then got back on and then continued south and then after that, I left and we to my families business - Corner Field Model Railroad Museum & Hobby Shop which opens at 11AM. I saw him in Glenwillow at 9:30AM. Anyway, I did see a report the previous day about 663 having 302, but I had no clue as I was driving at that moment coming there, the crossing gates were starting and here he comes. Totally surprised. Anyway, cool to see Rio Grande.
I'LL ADD THE VIDEO OF THIS TRAIN TOMORROW.
