Another lucky catch |
| Description: |
The last day of the trip, we were rolling east from Colby, when we caught up to this eastbound oil train near Ogallah. I was able to get him rolling past the elevator there with 94 cars. |

Home of the Railroaders |
| Description: |
The city of Ellis was once a division point-theres a lake on Big Creek there that was dammed to provide water for steam power back in that era. Time has passed the facilites by, and now its just another town on a long drag across the plains, but they are still proud of their history, as the art on the elevator shows. The oil train pays homage. |

Another elevator |
| Description: |
This one at Yocimento, not really a town, though it once was on the map between Ellis and Hays. My last catch of the train before we broke for lunch at Hays. |
