Last of the sun |
| Description: |
An 115 car empty oil train catches the last rays as it passes through Gravette. Too bad this didnt happen two hours earlier. After this, I caught a southbound grain train, which met a northbound at Siloam. I passed on a southbound coil steel train at Gentry while chasing this one. Could have had all of them in good light. |
