| Back in August, Great Wolf Lodge was holding a major flash sale where rooms were starting at just $84 a night. Sales by GWL like this are very few and far between and I knew I couldnt pass up on a stay that would be insanely cheap compared to other times I had stayed. After staying on the computer for well over 22 hours just waiting to get my turn at booking a stay, I finally was able to get on just after 1 AM and get a 3 night stay booked for just over $400. Absolutely nuts. No trip to Great Wolf is really complete without a friend. My best friend Trent still had plenty of PTO to use, and had never been with me to Great Wolf, so I invited him and we went up to Sandusky. While going to and from Sandusky you run into plenty of railroads, and while Trent isnt big into train photography, he was cool with some intermittent train watching here and there. We started our day around 10 AM, and made our first stop at the yard in New Haven. Not much was going on, but we did manage to see the west end pulldown job (I want to say DN21 but Im not confident on that) with a sole high hood. NS 5211 has been a resident at East Wayne for some time now, but Ill never pass up a chance to get more shots of it! |
