CFNR 505 Cortena Job South | Theatre Rd. Railroad Crossing, Williams CA

Aug 12, 2025 12:56pm After I tried to see if the Corning Job would run through Maxwell but didn't this day, I had missed the Cortena Job running north all the way to Cortena Siding and my chance to get at her Williams crossings. I could see them though from Maxwell turn around back south to this way as they ran to Cortena still despite the Corning not coming this day due to cars that needed to be picked up that were sitting at the Cortena Siding either from set out spotted cars or the Corning just came earlier or the previous day. Anyways, I caught back up to them here.
