About 932pm, from west to east ward travel, I saw the train overhead.  I pointed to it and Chrissy was.. WTF is that???   We spent the next few minutes watching them come into view and fade into the east.  Even the next day she was still... I cant believe we saw that.  I just had to share.

Tomorrow's will be even better with the train passing directly overhead.
