Between the boards
Title:  Between the boards
Description:  I heard a southbound coming, so ran down to Westville OK to head him off. My typical approach is, if I don't see the train is imminent, to work north along US 59, since sometimes it's a manifest working at Watts, or is holding for a meet there. Today turned out to be both. The southbound M train sits at the south end of Watts, framed by the northbound home signals. Its waiting for a northbound empty coal train before resuming his pick up here.
