Ten minutes too late
Title:  Ten minutes too late
Description:  I had gone up to Gentry to drop off some food at my sons house, and saw a headlight as I crossed the tracks in town. I ran up toward the McKee plant, to find the dodger was just getting his train back together to head south. Ive wanted to catch him working here, with the company sign and the train together. It will have to be another day.

Feeding time
Title:  Feeding time
Description:  I took off from McKee Foods before the train started, and set up so I could get this shot of him rolling his dozen cars past the Curran Feed Store downtown. Across the tracks is another Gentry fixture, The Chicken Coop, a long time flea market.
