Morning shot
Title:  Morning shot
Description:  Gravette can be a challenge to shoot in, since the angle is sometimes difficult. This morning shot is fairly wide open and unobstructed, though the leader is nose dark. All in all, an OK view, and you can get right back rolling if youre chasing.

Short trip, long wait
Title:  Short trip, long wait
Description:  I heard a horn as we came back from lunch, and took off into town, expecting to chase a northbound. That guess was correct; what I didnt know was there was a southbound coal train holding the main. By the time I got it together, I had missed both trains at Siloam. I didnt want to be out too long, so went to Gentry to get the northbound. I got ahead, and climbed the embankment to the Ark 12 overpass, and waited...and waited...and waited. I figure either he was holding south of town to meet a southbound-KCS does this so not to block crossings-or he was picking up DPUs from the Flint Creek Spur. I was about to give up on the effort after about 30 minutes in 95 degrees, when I heard a horn to the south, and shortly after saw a column of smoke as the train pulled away from the spur, about a mile to the south. Here he is, four original units, and three picked up off the spur, with 115 empty oil cans.

I was right after all
Title:  I was right after all
Description:  I had thought they might be holding back on a meet as one option for the long delay of the northbound oil trains arrival. Turned out I was right on that count as well. A southbound, possibly 262?? rolls down the siding as the oil train runs north on the main.
