Forgotten but not gone |
| Description: |
The northbound H train rolls past the now closed Cheri Whitlock Dr crossing, its gates and flashers still working, even though the roadway has been removed, supplanted by the overpass Im standing on to get the photo. |

New bridge northbound |
| Description: |
The northbound H train approaches the new overpass at Cheri Whitlock Dr. The bridge replaced a grade crossing that got backed up every time a train passed. Todays northbound is only 60 cars, but motorists will still be glad not to have to wait even for a short train. A pair of KCSM units lead. |

| Title: |
Mexico both ways |
| Description: |
This northbound H train is leaving the siding at Siloam after meeting the southbound H train. His leader was a KCSM unit, and so is the trailing power, which looks freshly painted. I would go to Gentry to get the shot of the train from the Ark 12 overpass, but he stopped at Flint Creek to pick up three units off a coal train that had pulled in there. An hour later he was still sitting on the main at the power plant. I never did get the shot off the bridge. Such is life chasing trains. |

Mexican leader |
| Description: |
This northbound H train had a KCSM unit leading. The trailing unit was also KCSM, both in Belle paint. Have not seen that very often. |

The northbound |
| Description: |
The dispatcher said the grain train was to meet a northbound at Stilwell. I was hoping for an actual train, so was sorta disappointed when it turned out to be just four lite engines, now in the siding as they are about to meet the southbound. Oh well....though one of them did turn out to be notable. |

Dwarfed |
| Description: |
The four unit move is dwarfed by the landscape as it rolls north past the hay bales north of Westville. Someone needs to do something with that tree!! |
