This view is from the old US 59 alignment that was bypassed when the new 4 lane was opened last year. Now I can take the shot without dodging 70 MPH feed trucks!!

The DPU of a southbound grain train rolls past a pasture full of steer, who appear unmoved by the long trains passage.

The DPU on the grain train rolls past the Hudson Foods feed mill north of Westville.

Just south of Chewie Rd, the reverse curve along US 59 straightens out, and we see the DPU of the grain train rolling around it at 30 MPH as it trails the 114 car train.

While he was stopped at Watts, I went back to check the DPU. Unfortunately for the guys going to Bakery Feeds, he didnt clear the crossing.
