The quarry |
| Description: |
The southbound Id heard from the house is now in my sights, passing the station at Stilwell. My goal today was to get down to Bunch to do a shot Ive been looking at for a while, so I would follow this train to Cave Springs, a dozen miles on. There was a DPU on this train, probably a BNSF unit with a couple of KCS units, but I didn't see it for chasing. |

Roll by |
| Description: |
The conductor waves at the northbound as he gets ready to give them a roll by. The plan was to have this be an entry in the Out and Back album, but this was the end of the chase. I beat it to Stilwell, which I made ahead of the train, which isnt hard to do if you dont drag your feet. I heard the detector at MP 261 go off, but the transmission cut off before I could hear any details. Thats about 3 1/2 miles from Stilwell; the train should have showed in about five more minutes. He must have had a hit on the detector, as 20minutes later, still no northbound. So it goes.... |
