Old style |
| Description: |
At the time I took this, the whole PTC plan had yet to emerge. These old searchlight signals were everywhere, a classic look that was still functional. Who knew that in four years, there would be not a one of these left on the Heavener Sub. A southbound grain train splits the pair at MP 249 in Baron, behind one of the first order of SD70ACes. |

Coming round |
| Description: |
Theres a big curve at the north end of Stilwell, and trains approach it at reduced speed, which is a help to us chasers. At the time I took this, it was a good shot, but has since become grown over. The late afternoon sun catches a southbound grain train as it rolls into town. |

Adair Supply |
| Description: |
A southbound TXUX coal train rolls down the main behind one BNSF and two KCS units. Most of the time, there were at least two BNSF units leading these trains, so the KCS power up front is unusual. |
