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. |

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. |

Grain DPUs |
| Description: |
I was waiting for a coal train to come out of the Flint Creek power plant, and caught a southbound grain train while it was getting ready. This is the DPU, an SD 70 ACe and one of the new GEs. Looks like the SD has had some scorching issues. |

DPU going away |
| Description: |
The DPU on the southbound grain train rolls away from me. Trailing unit is one of the new ET44AHs. I cant seem to get a good shot of them leading. |
