Caught up |
| Description: |
Not the hardest thing, as there is a short, steep climb through Decatur that tops out about where the signal is. All but the lightest trains struggle here. |

Over the crest |
| Description: |
The coal train the empty grain move met at Dorsey is now at MP 219, six miles south. I didn't get out of Dorsey til the grainer passed, and was still able to catch this train, which is typically the case. |

Climbing out |
| Description: |
The coal train is pulling to the top of the grade coming out of the Flint Creek valley, its power working hard as it approaches Davidson Rd. The detector just to the south will tell me it has 124 loaded cars. |
