Taking the signal |
| Description: |
The northbound empty oil train approaches the signal at the north end of the siding, about to take the main heading north. Home signals on KCS are single head: either you go, or you dont, its red or green, by and large. In the northeast where I came from, this would be a two head signal, red over green. |

The northbound has knocked down the signal and is now entering the main. Note the lettering on the hopper just to the right of the crossing flashers: buffer service only. |

Not always sunny skies |
| Description: |
We all like to get that nicely lit shot, with the puffy cloud Kodachrome sky, but today was not it. Northbound 115 car empty oil train rolls toward the end of the siding at North Siloam behind a pair of BNSF units, as the gloom closes in on a Novermber Friday afternoon. |

BNSF 8987 |
| Description: |
The DPU’s of NS 739 aren’t doing much at this point but hanging out as the coal from the train has been emptied. Their work may be sporadic at best but one can be assured when it was loaded that they were earning their keep. The 8987 deserves a rest and easy run as it was all but destroyed in a derailment on 6/29/2007 from a wash out near Francis, Oklahoma. You couldn’t tell it now as its prime movers deep throated engine ebbs and flows off the flanks of Bald Rock Mountain at Cook Springs, AL. |
