See the headlights down that track? It turned out to be the switcher out of the Millersburg yard.
There I was, crossing the old Oregon Electric rail line at Burkhart Street Thursday night when I heard the horn of an approaching train.
I stopped, looked back down the track and unlimbered my phone camera as quickly as I could. And then, well, you can watch along:
Okay, so I wasted a few minutes (and you did too if you watched the video). Big deal.
What else can you do when you hear a locomotive’s horn on an otherwise uneventful bike excursion through the wilds of old east Albany on a pleasant September night? (hh)
I can hear the train conductor on his radio….Hey that old guy on the bike is watching us again….He’s the flock camera guy of Albany…trains have plates…right.???
