	UP 4148	OK, there's an interesting story behind this story. I was in Tallahassee driving back to my hotel from Dinner at Lucy Ho's (off Capital Circle NE just before Thomasville Rd.) when I heard this on my radio, "Q631 UP Engine 4148 South has an Approach Distant Signal Tallahassee, Over." Well I knew I was close to the Distant to Tallahassee because of how clear the transmission came into my radio. So I cut through some traffic, raced down a side street, cut west towards the tracks when I heard his airhorn. Since I wasn't in a good stopping place I cut south on another side street parallel to the tracks. When the road curved I spotted the right of way right behind a run down apartement complex. I pulled in next to the apartment complex and parked. As I climbed out of my car, I heard the hum of his ponies, got out my camera and captured this image. With 10 seconds to spare and no real time to frame up the shot I think it came out pretty well. And that's the story behind my first shot of a UP Engine.	04/04/04
