Title:  K634
Description:  I woke up at 04:00 this morning to get an early start on a full day of railfanning with fellow contributor Jack Jakeman in the Selkirk area. At 04:40 this train hit the defect detector in Memphis, NY. When I met-up with Jack in Amsterdam, I mentioned that it would be great to catch this one! So......just before 11:00 we got it! I should also say that it was very nice to meet fellow contributor Chris G here today! So.....by 11:00 it was a good day; but, we could'nt have known that in a few hours it was gonna get even better in Delanson.
