By the board |
| Description: |
One of the more challenging shots in the area is this shot of a northbound passing the signal at Roller Av in Decatur, just north of the station. The Simmons plant keeps the tracks in shadow much of the afternoon, but during the longer days of summer, its possible to get this shot with the power and signal lit up. Because the angle is low by then, it makes for an attractive shot. We see a northbound 84 car H train. |

Finally, here he comes |
| Description: |
I had gone up to dump recycling, but saw nothing, and finally decided to do a quick grocery trip. As I was on my way back to the house, the gates were down at Kenwood St. Figures, and I have ice cream in the car. I did a quick drop at home, and took off after the train. He was in Gentry when I caught him, so I ran up to Decatur to get the shot at the station and signal. He had a stop and proceed at 219-1, which meant a slow roll into town here. Finally, he rolls around the curve toward the station. |

Taking the signal |
| Description: |
The Q train takes the clear signal at 216-8. Hell get a clear shot through Dorsey, and just barely beat me into Gravette, six miles north. Unfortunately, that will be the closest I get to another shot today. |
