High above |
| Description: |
When US 59 was widened from two lanes to four here, this hillside was blasted away to allow for the new southbound lanes. It opened up this shot, since the hill was now easily accessible. A 114 car southbound grain train is passing along US 59 in this panoramic view. |

Meeting a northbound |
| Description: |
The grain train meets the empty TXUX train at CP North Stilwell. The single unit is uncommon on the head an empty train, though there are two more on the rear. Practice is for BNSF to send the coal trains from Wyoming in a 2x1 configuration, with KCS adding DPU power on the rear at Pittsburg. This train had the KCS power cut off at Heavener, but the BNSF power was not rearranged once the train was empty. The two KCS units on the grain train are fresh repaints. Thats US 59 in the foreground. |

Pulling down for a meet |
| Description: |
Though theres already one going on here. I had seen the southbound grain train after I had dropped off recycling in Siloam, and decided to take chase. I caught up to him here in Watts, where he was holding the main for an impending northbound, but also because the dodger, L 102, was working the yard, using the siding for head room. |

Lone tree |

And a lone DPU, this one trailing the southbound Q train, seen across the pasture land north of Westville, pushing hard on a covered hopper and a string of articulated auto racks as it passes a single, bare tree. Todays train has 88 freight and five of the racks. |

Action!! |
| Description: |
The Q trains wait is now over, as the northbound M SHKC rolls past the south end of Cave Springs siding, in a blur of speed as it crosses CR E 888. Still a little fall color down here. |

Almost dark |
| Description: |
Im going to have to start calling these sequences "Out and Almost Back" since if I start late enough in the day, I cant get all the way back to Siloam before it gets dark. Oh, for the long days of summer!! Northbound M train rolling through the twilight north of Westville, the running lights giving away the train as it makes its way into night. |

Rolling past |
| Description: |
After getting the shot of the leader going past the signals, I ran to get it meeting the power on the Q train. He was a bit faster than me, and I didnt get the power passing power shot I wanted. This is still a pretty good action shot, though, of the Q train conductor giving the northbound a roll by. |
