was busy having fun.

Let's join Jim Willis (above- file photo) this evening as he runs a variety of trains.

Train 503 the northbound Coal Train is seen in Brandon (above),

but it is southbound.

Train 503 is pulled southbound to Sue City (above) were

there is enough track to run around the train so it can head northbound.
