Snowy woods |
| Description: |
The line along Butler Creek is quite wooded in places, as this view of a 75 car northbound empty grain train attests. It looks pretty good with the snow accentuating the trees. |

A view from the bridge |
| Description: |
In this case, the US 59 bridge over the Illinois River. Not to bad for a shot taken through the open car window while I was standing outside getting the shot looking over the wall. Two SD 70ACe's have 75 empty grain hoppers in tow. |

Wanted to do this last time |
| Description: |
A couple of weeks prior to this shot, I was here, also with a Q train, and the shutter release failed. Now I have a shot at redemption. The power and several cars of todays Q train pass an old corrugated steel barn and a yard full of hay bales in a scene that is quintessential rural Oklahoma. |

Getting a good roll now |
| Description: |
The grain train gets a good roll going as it approaches the automatic at Goodman. The single unit was originally a surprise-these trains usually get two up front, two in the rear. Things were a little different today. |

Cant fight city hall |
| Description: |
But you can take a photo of a train passing it. The grain train rolls past the old KCS station at Anderson, one of a number of them preserved either as museums, or as this one, and the one in Noel, now a municipal building. The area here has been cleaned up quite a bit since I last did this shot some years ago. Looks much nicer. The single unit works well here, too; two would also be manageable. More than that, and you don't get the whole consist. Now just need to get a clean unit leading here. |
