One more at Wolf Creek |
| Description: |
I took off, making the side trip to Wolf Creek just ahead of the train, catching it as the shadows now covered the waterway. |

Snaking along |
| Description: |
The empty coal train beat me to the Ark 59 overpass in Sulphur Springs, but I was able to get him approaching the Kingshighway crossing at Noel, snaking through the curves along Butler Creek |

Waiting for a meet, and a surprise |
| Description: |
There was some chatter about a train to the north, at McElhany, and it seemed my coal train was going to be held here at Noel. When I got up into town, I found it sitting at the station, now city hall, with an unexpected companion, the Loram rail grinding train, which had been working on the line earlier in the week. |

Flying the flag |
| Description: |
The US and Missouri flags adjacent to the Noel city hall, the former KCS station, fly above the leader on the empty coal train, whose wings are flying on the nose of the engine. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
There was chatter about a train at MdElhany, the next siding to the north, and a power swap. It seemed the coal train would be sitting a bit. It was getting toward twilight, and I had dinner waiting, so time to head home. Still, three trains in a short afternoon chase aint too shabby. |
