Always in the wrong place
Title:  Always in the wrong place
Description:  I had chased H SHKC up from Stilwell to Watts, where he was doing yard work. I figured that could take a while, and Id been out a couple of hours, so headed for home. I got to the crossing just north of the bridge when I heard a horn. I looked over to see the Q train headed south. Unfortunately, he was too far along for me to come around and set up a shot on the Illinois River, so took this grab shot from the car window. Cant win em all!!

Later that day
Title:  Later that day
Description:  Later on that afternoon, I heard a horn, which turned out to be this 114 car empty northbound TXUX train, seen approaching Tahlequah St. KCS was obviously using the move to shuttle lite power north, judging by the nine units.
