Empty coal |
| Description: |
Sometimes I can hear trains all the way from Watts, though usually not til they get closer to me in Siloam Springs. I heard what sounded like a northbound climbing the hill, but a quick ride around town yielded no train. I headed up to Davidson Rd to see what was going on, and found a southbound oil train on the crossing. I made a quick turn, and beat it for Watts. The oil train had gone through, no surprise there, but had met this coal train there. I caught it on the Illinois River bridge in cruddy light. Still a pretty shot, though. |

| Title: |
Second southbound |
| Description: |
I broke off the chase of the grain train, since it was now getting darker and the prospects of getting a lit shot were virtually nil. As I neared Watts, heres another headlight. Now its the southbound Q train. I chased down to the big curve near Chewie Rd and shot him thorugh the curve there. |

Away! |
| Description: |
The Q train rolls though the S curve at Chewie Rd, going away, and heading for Westville as the light fades. |
