We start with a meet
Title:  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.

Go for three
Title:  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.

There we are!!
Title:  There we are!!
Description:  I knew a grain train wasnt going over the Heavener Sub with just a single unit, and I was right. Consecutively numbered SD 70ACes are spliced in 50 cars deep in the 100 car train. There will be one more unit on the rear, too.
