Belle DPUs |
| Description: |
The configuration of coal trains flexes over time. Sometimes they run 2x2x1, then operating philosophy will change, and theyll go 2x3, then 3x2, then back to 2x3. For a long time, when the practice was 2x2x1, KCS would add helpers about 85 cars deep, leaving the home road power solo on the rear. Once again, we are in a 2x3 mode, and KCS has added their DPUs on the rear, which is where we find them on this southbound AEPX train crossing Cheri Whitlock Rd. Todays set includes a unit from south of the border. |

Good to see some coal trains |
| Description: |
A southbound AEPX train rolls past the Cobb feed mill, about to cross Cheri Whitlock Rd behind a pair of UP units. An overpass will be built here in the next couple of years, which will not only eliminate the traffic delays from trains on the crossing, but also make for an elevated point of view for photos. |

Mid train?? |

Not exactly. The practice on the Q trains is to put the DPU, if there is one, between the carload freight and the autos and intermodal. Todays Q train had only two autoracks trailing, so not much of a mid train. |

Making the grade |
| Description: |
In one of those lucky moments, I was on my way back to the house after taking recyclables to the dump, going the long way round to see if the signal at South Siloam was lit. It was!! I pulled off, to be rewarded five minutes later with this northbound TXUX empty train. Some days, you just get it right!! |

Right moment |
| Description: |
I was heading up through town when I saw the gates go down at one of the crossings farther down. I knew I could beat the train to Lincoln Av, and I was just about right, having enough time to pull into the team yard as this empty coal train approached behind a gray SD and a BNSF unit. Shot from the car window. That works!! |

Going downhill |
| Description: |
The GEMX train rolls past the waiting empty AEPX train as it makes for the grade into the Illinois River valley and Watts. Thats the US 412 overpass ahead of the train, a some time platform for my photos. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
Trains spend a lot of time waiting. This one is north of Country Club Rd, where there is enough track space to fit a 125 car coal train between here and the next crossing north, Davidson Rd. The KCS is pretty good about not blocking crossings in town any longer than needed for a meet. There was a northbound empty AEPX train on the way up from Watts-slowly. This southbound was here about 20 minutes before he moved. |

DPU at speed |
| Description: |
I was on my way to church last Sunday, when I came up on the Lincoln Av crossing to find the gates down, and a coal train on the crossing. As I pulled up, I saw there was a northbound manifest in the siding. I always have a camera in the car, so I opened the window and grabbed this shot of the DPU going past the stopped train. |

All gone |
| Description: |
The tail end of the final DPU unit passes the head end of the northbound manifest in the siding. Oddly, the BNSF unit was working an AEPX train, which had UP power leading. |
