Lucky catch
Title:  Lucky catch
Description:  Some days you live right...wed gone to the local rock and gem show at the Siloam Springs armory. As we came out, I could hear a northbound takikng the siding for a meet. We went up to Tahlequah St to get the southbound, and hopefully the meet. As we crossed the tracks at Lincoln St, there was another fan. This is unusual. I can count on my fingers the fans I see chasing this line, so something was up. What was up was this southbound oil train, led by the Support the Troops unit.

Once a special unit
Title:  Once a special unit
Description:  Third in consist of the lite power move was this surprise. It doesnt look all that different from any other AC44 now, but back in the day, when NAFTA was a big deal, this engine had a special paint job on its gray body, noting the different roads in the KCS stable, and how they fit into the NAFTA scheme. There was also an SD 50 so adorned, which I have a shot of at Knoche Yard in KC from 1999 or so.

From the bridge
Title:  From the bridge
Description:  The grain train was held up long enough waiting for the dispatcher to clear the signal that I had time to beat it up to the US 59 overpass a half mile south for this tele view of the train picking up speed as he rolled for Cave Springs and south. Id follow the lite power back to Watts.

The northbound
Title:  The northbound
Description:  The dispatcher said the grain train was to meet a northbound at Stilwell. I was hoping for an actual train, so was sorta disappointed when it turned out to be just four lite engines, now in the siding as they are about to meet the southbound. Oh well....though one of them did turn out to be notable.

County barn
Title:  County barn
Description:  There used to be a body shop here. Adair county picked up the property when the shop folded, and now uses it for a maintenance base for road equipment. The tracks here are on a short steep grade, coming out of a speed restricted curve that slows them considerably. Its kind of a straight on shot, but an easy one. The slow speed also makes getting ahead of the train for a shot at the signals at CP North Stilwell easy, or passing the station, about 1.5 mile south.

DPU on the bridge
Title:  DPU on the bridge
Description:  After Baron, there arent any good photo spots til you get into Stilwell, but there is the bridge over Barren Fork Creek, a plate girder affair that connects to a through truss. Its better for a northbound, or a southbound with a DPU, which is what we have here. I wont beat him to the next spot, a county road crossing about 1.5 miles south, but the shot here is worth doing. The two unit DPU, a pair of CP Golden Rodents filling out this all CP, all GE power consist, rolls south, seen from adjacent US 59.

250-0
Title:  250-0
Description:  The wide angle shot here is of the train passing signal 250-0, which KCS relocated here from an earlier position a bit to the north a few years ago, which made it much more accessible for the C&S forces. They did a similar move a couple miles south with the signal at MP 252, which was moved from a position on an embankment, to the crossing just south of that milepost.

Long view and a big tree
Title:  Long view and a big tree
Description:  There are several shots at Baron for different length lenses. This shot is a tele view, 250mm, that gives you the stretched out train and a view of a large trackside tree, which at this date has not started to green up. One of my great frustrations with the KCS is the lack of colorful trees. Almost no redbuds, and few Bradford pears for spring color.

On the Illinois
Title:  On the Illinois
Description:  I took the chance that the 181 would make decent time through the siding, and I could get a shot on the Illinois River, which has perfect lighting this time of day. I bet right, and got a good shot here, and was able to get down toward Westville to shoot the grain train, too.
