School has let out for the day and those who live in the country are aboard the bus on their way home. As the bus travels a narrow road in Southwestern Ohio known as Oxford-Middletown Road the gates and flashers come down for a crossing with Norfolk Southern tracks. The location is near Sommerville in Butler County.
Headed railroad westward is stack train 282, which originates in Jacksonville, Florida, and is bound for Landers Yard in Chicago. In this area it runs on the New Castle District.
It may be that at least one passenger aboard the bus doesn’t mind waiting for the train. He’s a young railroad enthusiast and he’ll take any opportunity he can get to watch a train go by.
