Tankers in Millington/HESR

I had some business today in Millington. Finally, I actually got to see some concrete evidence of train action in town. At the new brine well place at Murphy Lake road, there was 2 tankers on the spur. But, I must have just missed the train that spotted them because, at the crossings downtown, there were fresh wheel marks in the snow covering the flangeways at the Millington road crossing. (The runaround trackage is just south of here). The wind has been blowing hard the last two days, so, if there was no train today, those flangeways should have been drifted full. I guess one could say I did a Maxwell Smart, and "Missed it by that much!" Anyway, it is great to see some rail cars/service returning to Millington.
