We start with a meet |
| Description: |
I was home on Saturday afternoon and heard a horn. I went into town to see what was going on, to find a northbound empty coal train in the hole at Siloam. As I reached the light at Main St, I heard the detector at Davidson Rd go off for a southbound. I pulled a quick U turn and set up on the US 412 overpass, catching this southbound 113 car H train as it passed the waiting coal train. He had a DPU, but I didn't stick around to see it. |

Lucky moment |
| Description: |
I was driving home from Missouri one afternoon and saw this empty grain train just as I was coming into Gravette, and was able to get around to the sun side to get the shot. |

And on to Kansas City. The empty grain train approaches the southbound signal at Davidson Rd as it works its way north to another load of grain for Mexico. |

Go for three |
| Description: |
Sometimes youre just out when things get busy. After I got the oil train and grain train at Gentry, I figured the day was probably done. So it was a pleasant surprise to find the southbound just getting to Siloam as I rolled over the Cheri Whitlock bridge. The grain train pulled to the south end of the main, and this northbound empty grain train rolled into the picture. |
