Album Info:Traffic was an absolute nightmare, with railfans, the non-railfan public that turned out to see it, farm tractors working the cottonfields, and a slow moving oversize load on the two lane FM50. This was as I expected, so I bypassed Bryan and College Station and headed directly to the Navasota River Bridge. I saw someone else's shots of 4014 on it back in 2019, and I wanted the location. I had calculated the sun to be on left flank, had she departed on time. That 80 minute delay was just enough to give me the sun dead overhead with no side illumination, or as the screeners at Railpricks reject a photo for "High Sun". I did my best.

UP 4014
Title:  UP 4014
Description:  “Welcome to Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. I'm your host Marlin Perkins. On this episode we find a mature Magnus Puer cautiously approaching railfans through the tall Pampas grasses of the rural Navasota River Valley. After allowing him to transit the area, the railfans will give chase this fine specimen, and onto the next location where they will watch it again. And again.
