Answer to the question |
| Description: |
Chasing a train through Siloam Springs is a challenge. Five traffic lights, and at least moderate traffic most of the time. Still, its usually the case I catch up to a southbound somewhere close to Watts, and right in Watts if theres a meet. I got down to Watts, and...nothing. No coal train, no northbound waiting, nothing. I ran down to Westville to see if hed really gotten away from me, but nope, no train. Finally, I decided maybe he had gotten by me, and I was going to make a run for Stilwell. I got most of the way to Westville, and here comes this northbound 261 train. OK, the coal train was still north of me, but where did he hide?? Must have been on the hill down into Watts, a strange place to hold up with a 17000 ton coal train. The 261 rolls past Chewie Rd behind a pair of dirty KCS units. |
