Meet at the signal
Title:  Meet at the signal
Description:  The southbound graintrains DPU rolls away as the H train slowly rolls to the signal, anticipating it will clear, allowing him to head north, his seven units more than up to the task of getting 95 cars over tie road. This is the third train I saw today.

DPU and a water tower
Title:  DPU and a water tower
Description:  The Siloam water tower in town is in good proximity to the tracks. Too bad the name of the town doesnt face the tracks. The DPU, a KCSM/KCS duo, likely added at Pittsburg-and ahead of the BNSF unit that came with the train from Wyoming-pushes for now, but will shortly be holding back the 131 cars as it drops the 1.5% into Watts
