Round the curve

Description:  The southbound rolls around the curve at Chewie Road, along US 59. I am ever grateful for the widening project here, as this shot was treed in til that project cleared out all the trees and shrubs between the road and tracks.

Framed
Title:  Framed
Description:  The southbound M train is framed by MP 250 on the left, and the "lift plow" board on the right. I was used to seeing the lift plow boards when I lived in upstate NY-there are A LOT of them on the D&H-but it seems somehow odd here in Oklahoma, where a foot of snow in a year is a lot. Upstate NY?? Oh, yeah, we had over 100" most years.
