Almost gone

Not as much color as I expected
Title:  Not as much color as I expected
Description:  Usually, the trees near a river or lake hold their leaves longer than elsewhere, due to the proximity of a good water source. Not here, apprently. Must be a northeast thing. The northbound 181 rolls its 27 autos, one of them articulated, and 82 grain hoppers north across the Illinois River.

Better than I expected
Title:  Better than I expected
Description:  I was afraid this view from the Ark 59 overpass would have no color in it whatsoever., but was pleasantly surprised to find there was still a little bit left, and enough light to make for a passably decent photo. Hes stop just north of here, depriving me of a shot near Noel along the creek there.

Caught him
Title:  Caught him
Description:  The head end of the empty coal train rolls around the curve to the signal at CP Sosth Watts, where it will meet the southbound grain train I heard from the house. Had to really run for this one. Sometimes an inspired engineer and a light(relatively speaking) t{ain can be a challenge for the chaser!!

It started with a horn in the distance
Title:  It started with a horn in the distance
Description:  I was outside working on some yard task, when I heard a horn off to the south. I took off for town to see what was up. A check of the signal at South Siloam Springs showed a restricting-see the Track and Signals album for that sequence-so a northbound will be taking the siding. By the time I got into position, the train-it was the 181, whose back end we see here-was already too far up for me to get a good shot, and the southbound you see here had passed the detector up at Davidson Rd. I set up on the US 412 bridge, and shot the back end meet.
