Meet |
| Description: |
It 5:30 on the Fourth of July, and we're on the Southern Railway at the north end of Pearl River siding witnessing a ritual that was repeated thousands of times each day. A trainman off of northbound No. 114 -- the run-through train from the MP running as 222 -- has performed a roll-by inspection of southbound piggyback train 219 and is letting his counterpart know that everything looks OK. No. 219 had GP38 2778 with 23 cars and caboose X411. No. 114 has SD35 3042, SD40 3174 and SD35 3019 with 98 cars and MP caboose 13430. It has been here for 30 minutes, and this is the second train it has met; but the 3042's headlight in back on and 114 is about to resume its journey north. Amtrak's southbound CRESCENT is running three hours late, so 114 won't have any more meets for a while! |
