Racing |
Description: |
I stopped to get a shot of the northbound with some colorful trees. Apparently, I didnt get up high enough, and caught this pick up racing the train on US 59. |

Swinging around |
Description: |
A shot I dont do often, usually because the light is wrong, is at Chewie Road, near MP 240 north of Westville. The 181 train rolls into the curve as it heads north. |

Almost gone |
Description: |
This large tree is next to the tracks near MP 238. Not long ago, it was fully leafed out. Now, almost nothing left, but still a good look with a train passing. |

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. |

Same spot, different angle |
Description: |
Earlier in the day, I had shot a northbound oil train here at Y City Rd. Now, the light has swung to the west, and Ill get the 181 from the side road off Ark 59, still with a little color. |

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 |
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 |
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. |

Title: |
Southbound grain close up |
Description: |
The grain train rolls its 105 cars under the US 412 overpass, and heads down the hill to Watts. Should have let him go, and followed the 181, which had a pair of Belles, the leader a KCSM AC 44 leading, up to Gentry. Youll see why shortly. |
