Waiting
Title:  Waiting
Description:  We were coming back from Springdale, and as I took the ramp to Ark 59 south, I saw a coal train pulling slowly into the siding. Must be a meet imminent. I dropped my wife and our stuff at home, and came back out. The meet wasnt quite imminent, and it was about 15 minutes before I heard some chatter on the radio, and then a horn to the south. The empty TXUX train was now approaching Lincoln Av, where we see him stretched out into the distance with 126 cars.

Turn around
Title:  Turn around
Description:  I spun around to get the meet, but wasnt fast enough pulling the lens back for a wider angle, and got a good shot of the empty train, but only a blur of the southbound. Still, kind of interesting.
