Good hustle
Title:  Good hustle
Description:  Or the M train must have had an approach at the signal just south of Davidson Rd, since I usually could not get the shot there and beat the train to this spot. Today I got lucky, and was able to get both shots. We see the M train passing the Cobb feed mill.

Good mix
Title:  Good mix

Late in the day at Davidson
Title:  Late in the day at Davidson
Description:  A northbound empty TXUX train rolls past the pastures at Davidson Rd, north of Siloam. The H2 scheme has its appeal, but it really washes out in the sun. Much as I prefer the H 1 scheme, the Swoosh also is fairly photogenic.

Suprise DPU
Title:  Suprise DPU
Description:  The surprise is not that there is one-unit grain trains almost always have one-but that its a BNSF Grinstein SD 70, a unit more typically found on coal trains. I like this scheme, so for me it was a bonus.
