Better than a quarter horse

Description:  Or maybe not, depends on your point of view. The southbound coil train passes Shockeys along US 59 south of Watts. As I write this, there is work being done to make US 59 between Watts and Westville a 4 lane. It will probably go into next year, but should make chasing here easier when the project is complete.
