Some weekends you just wind up staying close to home. And that’s fine because you never know what you might get there. Akron Railroad Club member Richard Thompson and his fellow ARRC cohorts spent a Saturday in Rich’s hometown of Akron and then ventured out to Alliance the next day. Although they spent much of their time in town, they did give chase to a coke train on the Bayard Line.

The ABC job catches up with the rear of the ethanol train. Both were headed westward.
