Two shots of a grain train |
| Description: |
A more comprehensive look at the situation is in the Siloam Springs album. Here are two shots of a southbound grain move, this one as it approaches Lincoln St in a longer view, accentuating the train coming through the sag north of town. |

Gated |
| Description: |
The wide view of the grain train gives away my position at the Lincoln St crossing, the gate in full view. The train stretches back through the dip. The Cobb feed mill we see so often in photos from Country Club Rd is in the distance. |

Next days 181 |
| Description: |
Saturday was much brighter, though the trains were still hiding on us. We caught the 181 on the Illinois River as it made its way north. Despite the cold, the snow is gradually disappearing. |

Davidson Rd |
| Description: |
The 181 has made it up the hill from Watts with a sizeable train of 65 stack platforms and 22 auto racks, probably the only reason I beat him through Siloam Springs-that and I made most of the lights. The snow is making its last stand. Tomorrow will get into the 50s, and there wont much left |

The 181s power crosses Davidson Rd, still some snow in evidence across the tracks in the field. |

Just barely |
| Description: |
The light was getting low, and I knew I had a shot here at Y City Rd, if the train kept moving, It did, and I got this last shot with some snow in the distance. |
