This long view of the southbound sand train shows the length even short 2 bay cars have when there are 100 of them. |

Sand south |
| Description: |
After meeting the UP train, the empty oil train still wasnt moving, so it seemed another meet was imminent. We headed toward Decatur to see if we could catch the southbound there, and saw him just south of town. This is the view at Y City Road as he drags over the top of the grade there at MP 219. |

Back end of a meet |
| Description: |
The sand train rolls through the home signals at South Gentry as the empty oil train starts to pull away, finally on the move after at least a 2 1/2 hour wait. The oil train had a CSX leader, not very common, and the original plan was to chase it north. The mid day light was awful, so I decided to chase the sand train. Things don't always work out the way you think they will. |

Into the curve |
| Description: |
Theres a right hand curve and signal at MP 252, a great shot with a tele. I just beat him here, dodging the chickens that wandered into the road from the adjacent house. |

Not quite |
| Description: |
The speed sign shows 35 for the curve just to the north. Southbounds encounter a short grade here, and heavy trains wont be making even that speed. |

By the mill |

After catching him at Gentry, I dropped my wife off at home, then took off. I beat him to the HJ Baker mill by only about 60 seconds. |

Coal train DPU |
| Description: |
I dont always pay attention to the DPUs, as the head end is usually a more interesting shot. Also, if Ive let the train get all the way past me, it can be hard to catch back up. I do like to get a shot, though. Since the chase ends here-the line between here and Sallisaw is impossible to follow-I let the train go by and shot the rear end. Nothing special today, not even the usual set up, which is typically a home road unit, with a pair of KCS six axles added at Pittsburg. Three BNSFs today. |
