Seeing this fly by back in the late 60's on it's North American Tour and get to see the train at Washington D.C. Union Station, is where my love of trains began. Sooo good to see it alive today! :) :) :) :)

Is there any way to find schedules for freight trains? Got 2 Union Pacific tracks through this tiny town.
