Praying for relief. The southbound coal train rolls past the brick church in Baron, its train stretched out behind on the long tangent. |

New signal |
| Description: |
KCS has been gradually relocating signals along the line. They moved the next one south, 252-1/2 about 1/4 to the south of its previous location; that one was in place maybe four years, and was a new installation replacing another signal nearby. Several years back, they moved siglan 226-7 in Siloam, about 1/4 mile to the north. This one was originally about 1/2 mile to the north.All of the new signals are now near road crossings. Makes sense if you ask me. The TXUX train passes new signal 250-0. |

Hard pull |
| Description: |
The coal train pulls the short but steep grade entering Stilwell. Hell up to track speed at the south end of town. |

By the station |
| Description: |
The short grade at the other end of town gives me time to get to the US 59 overpass at the south end. Its a good tele shot, and I usually have time to set up for it. The head end passes the passenger station, now a museum. |

No game ntoday |
| Description: |
Its a Tuesday afternoon, and there is absolutely nothing going on here. Were in the second month of the Coronavirus pandemic, and all the schools are closed, kids learning on line from home. Some parts of the world, however, need to keep moving, such as this southbound TXUX coal train, headed for a Texas power plant to keep the lights on-and the hospitals and factories that make masks, ventilators, and toilet paper powered up. |

Surprise |

As I started to chase the westbound toward the hill, one of the eastbounds I had encountered earlier showed up, and I got a grab shot as I went past. |
