What were waiting for |

The northbound empty coal train, three of its seven units visible here, rolls past the waiting grain train that I heard from home a little while earlier. This is not my second train of the day. |

Caught him |
| Description: |
The head end of the empty coal train rolls around the curve to the signal at CP Sosth Watts, where it will meet the southbound grain train I heard from the house. Had to really run for this one. Sometimes an inspired engineer and a light(relatively speaking) t{ain can be a challenge for the chaser!! |

The head end of the coal train has arrived at CP South Watts, where it will sit for a little bit, as there is another train to meet. The DPU on the 261 is about to pull away. |

The DPU |
| Description: |
My wife likes NS units, largely for the herald with the horse. This train was unusual, in that we dont get a lot of horsies here, and hardly at all on coal trains. Its pulling away south of Decatur, passing the defect detector at MP 218.4 |
