Eastbound NS Merchandise Train
Title:  Eastbound NS Merchandise Train
Description:  The first train Pat Scott and I caught today was NS Train 111 passing NS Train 115 in the siding north of the airport. It was nice to catch a Primer "Albino Catfish" Dash-9 before they are all painted. The first car was a Hi-Wide Load, a McDonnell Douglas Corporation well car for carrying airplane and aviation parts. Pat picked me up this morning from The Double Tree Inn at Westport at 8:30 A.M. for a day of railfanning in St. Louis, we finished around 2:30 P.M.
