This is going to be a problem
Title:  This is going to be a problem
Description:  I had hoped when I started the chase of the H train that I would be able to get a nice, low light angle shot as it passed the station in Stilwell. When I got to the station, I parked, then looked down to check the signal. Thats when I saw the northbound empty TXUX train. My immediate thought was, the empty train will take the siding, letting the 10000 ton merchandiser roll on through. Nope. As it got closer, I could see the coal train was holding the main. Crap. Maybe it will be a rolling meet-KCS often hold an effective meet, and trains almost dont come to a complete stop. It was not to be. The coal train stopped with its rear end about 9 cars too far south, and my shot of the H train was going to be blocked. Curses, foiled again!! This is the head end of the coal train approaching the Stilwell station.

Last shot
Title:  Last shot
Description:  I got the northbound TXUX train here at Baron, on the Baron Creek bridge adjacent to US 59. I cut off the chase here, since I had things to do at home, which was a half hour ride from this point.
