All the power |
| Description: |
I was able to get a good side view of the power, including a pair of new ET44AHs, when the train passed me at Baron. |

Church and a cloud |
| Description: |
I was able to get ahead of the H train with a little hustle, and rolling 75 MPH to pass a slowpoke(why people go 55 on a 65 MPH road, I cant figure), just beating him to Baron for this shot of the church with a tall cloud in the background. |

Four units past the station |
| Description: |
A shot I want to get right is the head on angle coming past the building, but since I dont really have any decent shots of the new ET44s, I opted for this wider angle. The four head end units of the H train roll their 143 cars past the station-look at the rest of the train to the left of the station. Too bad I got dinked. This would have been a good open view in the sun. Win some, lose some. |

Peek-a-boo |
| Description: |
The southbound H train peeks around the corner at the north end of Stilwell. Theres a short but steep grade as the train comes out of a tight curve, and they work here. Lucky for me-it gives me enough time to grab a couple of shots and make it down to the station. |

Working hard |

A little farther along, and the train is giving a good pull as it lugs its 143 cars into the grade. |

Over the top |
| Description: |
The head end has now reached the crest, and will start gaining speed shortly. This is my cue to run downtown to the station. Ill beat him there easily. |

Catch me if you can |
| Description: |
I heard this southbound H train coming through Siloam Springs. Even if I hear a train at the first crossing in town, Country Club Rd, I cant get into town in time to get a shot, and getting across town on US 412 kills the chase most of the time, so I run down Ark 59 to US 62, then west to Westville OK. If he works Watts, I can usually get there before he heads south. Sometimes not. I started toward Watts, only to get about two miles out of town and see the train off to the east. I pulled the first U turn I could and tried for a shot at Westville. I got it, but not the one I wanted. Just as I apprached the Buffington Rd crossing, he was there. I turned on the side road, and was able to get a going away shot of the power. |

Glint of sun |
| Description: |
The light was sinking fast, and one of the last places I could get a somewhat sunlit shot was here at Deer Creek Rd in Noel, where we see the trains five units catching the last rays of setting sun |
