Ten minutes
Title:  Ten minutes
Description:  I was headed back home from a Wal Mart pick up this past Monday. The day had started out gray following rain overnight, but with promise of some clearing in the afternoon.Before the system moved off, there were some breaks in the clouds. One of those breaks was all of ten minutes, but this southbound oil train was just starting to pull during the sunny moment, Here it is approaching Lake Frances Rd as it heads south.

Caught him
Title:  Caught him
Description:  The head end of the empty coal train rolls around the curve to the signal at CP South Watts, where it will meet the southbound grain train I heard from the house. Had to really run for this one. Sometimes an inspired engineer and a light(relatively speaking) train can be a challenge for the chaser!!
