Opposite side

The northbound
Title:  The northbound
Description:  I was able to get up to Tahlequah St to catch the northbounds departure, though that effor was helped by the passage of the southbound dodger, which I saw, but wasnt able to shoot. I was grateful for the assist, since the consist on the northbound turned out to be notable. The train starts moving, and we now see the water tank in a more familiar scene.
