Pushing them along |

Most trains these days get a DPU if they are heavy enough. For the merchandise trains on the KCS, this is most of them. This H train has 92 cars. |

Just missed |
| Description: |
I had chased a northbound to Noel, choosing to shoot him at the Kings Highway low water crossing. As soon as I go that shot, I beat it into town, since he was slowing for a meet. I didnt get there quite fast enough, as this southbound was just about on the MO 90 crossing as I pulled up. I was able to get this going away shot. |

Q train |
| Description: |
I had not done this shot in a while, but it turned out to be a good second choice. I was planning to get the shot off Ark 59 north of town, but the line there is now treed in along the creek, a lot of change since I first started coming here in 2007. So, I set up here at the Butler Creek bridge for this shot of the Q KCSH. Todays effort has 108 freight, 9 articulated auto racks, and 4 stack platforms. |
