Reflections |
| Description: |
The new camera came with an 18-55mm zoom, so now I have one where the auto focus works, which is a nice change from the two I had. The southbound oil train nears the signals at North Stilwell, the headlights reflecting in the lens in the dim light. |

Caught up, southbound version |
| Description: |
I took off after the oil train, getting even with the head end at Westville, but not able to get far enough ahead for a shot there. I beat him to Baron, where I got him passing the old church. |

Passing the signal |
| Description: |
KCS relocated the automatics from about a half mile north to a position right at the crossing here, making for a good "hardware" shot. The 120 car oil train passes behind CP and NS units. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
The oil train has pulled up by the Adair County barn, holding out of the siding at Stilwell, waiting on a meet with a northbould. Stopping here will keep the train from blocking several busy crossings on the siding, as well as setting the traffic lights on adjacent US 59 to flashing red. Hell be here, as it always seems to work out, til the light goes. |
