Dupont Tank Car Safety Training
March 2001; Greenville, Fl.
Q602 goes through Tallahassee at around 1630. I get stopped at a railroad
crossing in town. To my surprise, the consist has one of Super 7s from
GE. I run home to pick up the scanner and the camera and head for I-10.
I monitor the progress of the train on the radio and decide Aucilla is
the spot. I get off the interstate and run to the siding. I barely beat
it but get it. The Super 7 is none other than THE GEX 3000.
DUPX 912 A (tank), DUPX 912 B (box car/training room) and 912C (caboose).
I get back in my car and watch the freight blow by. But then, in my
rear view mirror, I see a caboose at the back of the train!!! And then,
I realize what I am missing. I run to the next spot: Greenville. Another
day, another adventure on the Tallahassee subdivision.
