New view |
| Description: |
The US 59 widening project has meant some serious tree and brush clearing. One place that got it was the area around Chewey Rd, between MP 238 and 239. Prior to the project, it was treed in. Now its wide open, creating a shot I had wished existed for years. Here we have a southbound H train approaching the curve, and the following two shots as it makes its way through. This was taken right from the shoulder of US 59. |

MP 237 |
| Description: |
As the KCS goes south, it turns so that the tracks face southwest, then turn south through a sweeping curve at MP 237. Its adjacent to US 59, and an easy spot to work. The train starts south through the curve, making for a beautifully lit shot. |

Another day, another northbound from the car |
| Description: |
Once again, we were heading to Stilwell for some Christmas shopping, and encountered a northbound just south of Watts, this time the H train. In what seems to be an unusual set up considering all the off line power I've seen lately, he has four KCS units, all Belles. |
