Adair Supply
Title:  Adair Supply
Description:  A southbound TXUX coal train rolls down the main behind one BNSF and two KCS units. Most of the time, there were at least two BNSF units leading these trains, so the KCS power up front is unusual.

Just caught him
Title:  Just caught him
Description:  After we saw the light power move, we came out to take a ride in the sun, stopping at nearby Crystal Lake to do some bird watching and enjoy the 60 degree day. As we were heading back to Ark 59, we saw a southbound rolling past. A quick dash into Decatur got me ahead of the train, but just enough to jump and get a grab shot. So we have BNSF 6359 leading a 125 car TXUX train, and a nice shot of a light pole with an F unit behind it,
