Last look
Title:  Last look
Description:  I knew the oil train would be rolling its 120 cars past me almost immediately after the meet, so I stuck around for the train to come past my position, getting it with the little bit of color still in this deep valley.

Finally, a road train
Title:  Finally, a road train
Description:  After fiddling around with the local for a while, I decided to check out the line south to Siloam Springs, to see if there were any places with decent color. Not really, but when I got to Davidson Road at MP 227, the signal there was red, which usually means a northbound in the mix. As I contemplated that possibility, I heard a northbound call the signal at North Siloam Springs. The shot at Davdison wasnt so hot, so I got him off the Ark 12 overpass.
