Viewing Album:  "The Cardinal Has Arrived!" - Charleston, WV
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:10/17/2012 - 10/17/2012
Album Info:Having caught the Cardinal pulling into Dyer, IN, near my home, I thought it would be fun to catch it while on vacation in the east. Forgot that as it nears its destination, there can be long delays in arrival times. This one was about an hour & 15 minutes late. Not bad considering the distance it travels!
