On this run following a loaded NS coal train, we had just enough time to turn off River Road in Washington Boro and pull into the lot at Blue Rock Heritage Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seamus-the-dog was riding in the back seat, and he\u2019s used to the routine: the car comes to a stop, I leap out, open the back door, fish out one of those black gizmos that I fiddle with, and then a great, loud mass of rolling metal and fumes roars by. It\u2019s all very exciting. Seamus helps by counting the cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris made an iPhone photo of Seamus watching the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
