Just caught him |
| Description: |
After we saw the light power move, we came out to take a ride in the sun, stopping at nearby Crystal Lake to do some bird watching and enjoy the 60 degree day. As we were heading back to Ark 59, we saw a southbound rolling past. A quick dash into Decatur got me ahead of the train, but just enough to jump and get a grab shot. So we have BNSF 6359 leading a 125 car TXUX train, and a nice shot of a light pole with an F unit behind it, |

| Title: |
Delayed chase |
| Description: |
I was dropping my recycling when a northbound empty coal train went past the dump. I was elbows deep in a bin of plastic and glass, and it was already 1515-they close at 1530-so I needed to get the task done. The coal train-led by a KCS unit and a BNSF Grinstein-was moving too fast for me to catch up, and I had things to do at home. After he went by, a track car got track and time to go to Gentry, then clear up by 1600, there was a southbound at Noel. I went to Gentry at 1600, no train, so worked north, finally catching him coming across Roller Av as I got into town. |

Foamers are out |
| Description: |
The train had a dedicated band of followers on it trip south. Decatur, for some reason, had a good cadre of locals who came out to shoot the train. |
