Chicken Feed |
| Description: |
Which is big business here. Curran Feed is a retailer, and does not have a siding, but the trains pass right by the building, making for this scene of Gentry commerce. Southbound Q train rolls by. |

Flashing |
| Description: |
I rolled up on this southbound Q train just as it was approaching the Main St crossing in Gentry, getting the approach along with the flashers blinking out their warning to approaching motorists. |

Stretched out |
| Description: |
The southbound Q train seen from a slightly closer angle to the tracks. The high cars make for an interesting long view. He appeared to be slowing for a meet, and had a red board at the south end of the siding. The meet was probably the northbound grain train we saw this day at Westville, with KCSM 4673 leading. |

Recycling day and another southbound |
| Description: |
One of the things about the transfer station here in town is that its adjacent to the tracks, which offers lots of opportunities while Im tending to household necessities. As I was dumping the couple of bins of recycling, I heard a horn. That turned out to be a Herzog train that was taking the siding. Radio chatter mentioned a southbound Q train, which showed shortly after the Herzog train tied up. Here is is rolling through the north end siding switch behind a pair of GEs |
