I had always intended to spend the better part of a day in and around CP-358 Butler Indiana and had never managed to do it.  On this day I found my self with some vacation so I decided this would be that day.  A day at CP-358.  

I was curious as to how many trains I would see or would go through this area.  I saw 50 out of 54 moves through this area from 6:49am eastern time to approximately 8:23pm eastern time.  It also proved to be the day they sent most of the new locomotives through the area (not the heritage ones of course) which included the barcode unit #1111.  All in all a good day.

Unfortunately there was a lot of static on the radio on this day especaially on the NS Huntingon District channel.  Sometimes picking out train symbols was tricky.
