Red raider |
| Description: |
Todays surprise was a southbound H train coming in to meet the northbound counterpart at Siloam. I had caught the northbound coming into town, and he was stopped in the siding. I ran up to Davidson Rd to catch this train, and got a surprise. CP power is not uncommon on the KCS, though it almost always is seen on unit oil trains headed for the Gulf Coast. Catching it leading the H train was unusual. |

The meet |
| Description: |
The lite power move meets the coal train as the conductor rolls the four units by. Now that the lite power is in the clear, the dispatcher will normal the switch, and the coal train will resume his trek south. |

Lite power |
| Description: |
I was hoping for a full sized freight here, but instead was treated to four units of a lite power move. Too bad, this is a nice spot to catch a long train. The light was starting to go anyway... |
