Love this kind of weather.


Disappearing in the fog northbound.


The fog got denser. 9:39 a.m. Official airport visibility was 0.13 miles. Earlier the observation at Adams Fiend was 0.0. The airport was closed most of the day and at least one person took Amtrak to Chicago tonight. I'll have photos of the Texas Eagle in the fog in another webpage.

Oil tankcars.


Heavier fog rolled in again, 9:38 a.m. The Arkansas River is only a tenth of a mile north of there and that adds to the thickness of the fog I'm sure.


BNSF 9264, the oil train's DPU, 9:39 a.m.

This is sad to me. ADN 9722 Ashley Drew and Northern boxcar with the ADN emblem and words painted over in green paint. Why do this since the reporting marks are still ADN? Will they do this to all the ADN boxcars remaining?
