The coal train rolled slowly thought Watts, and I was able to get to the Illinois River crossing in time to get him on the bridge there. The water was calm, allowing this nice reflection shot.
The coal train passes a stand of trees that is not far off the colors of the diesels on the northbound. Color was better this year than its been in other years, though the oranges and dark reds are no match for the northeast.
The empty coal train rolls past a farm scene, the iconic view of steer in the pasture, and hay bales lined up for the winter.
The empty coal train roll north at Watts, the long sweeping curve yielding a long view of the stretched out train coming out of the sun.
The coal train I encountered at Cave Springs passes the station at Stilwell, the light angle giving me a lot of glint. Shooting northbounds can be a challenge this time of year, with low sun and odd angles
The KCS crosses Baron Creek just south of Baron, and is easily viewed from adjacent US 59. Thats the vantage point for this shot of the empty TXUX train as it heads north in fading light. The lack of rain this year is apparent in the almost dry creek bed.

Amtrak picked this over the UP station, probably because it uses the Santa Fe tracks for its Southwest Chief route.
Built in 1950 for Santa Fe, replacing one of the first Harvey Houses.
