Go for three
Title:  Go for three
Description:  Sometimes youre just out when things get busy. After I got the oil train and grain train at Gentry, I figured the day was probably done. So it was a pleasant surprise to find the southbound just getting to Siloam as I rolled over the Cheri Whitlock bridge. The grain train pulled to the south end of the main, and this northbound empty grain train rolled into the picture.

Knocked down
Title:  Knocked down
Description:  The H train has passed the signal, now red over red as he takes the siding. I quit the chase here-the light was going, and I had to get home-but at least with the end of February, the light stays longer, and I get more of the "back" part of the chase in before its too dark to shoot pictures.

Returning north
Title:  Returning north
Description:  I had hoped to chase the oil train down to Bunch, there are a couple of shots I want to do there, but the sun was now getting low, and I had a northbound to head home with, so I turned my attention to the H train, which we see here on the bridge over Baron Fork Creek, just barely catching the sun.
