Not as bad as it looks
Title:  Not as bad as it looks
Description:  This southbound coal train is approaching downtown Wagoner. The heat distortion is pretty bad, though it wasn't that hot-mid 80's. It has not activated the crossing protection yet, so the car in front of the train is not playing chicken.

Closer
Title:  Closer
Description:  The coal train has gained some ground, and is now entering downtown. That's the ex MP crossing in the middle of the photo. No one will get in his way from here on. It was pretty hot that day. The heat distortion is pretty serious.

Passing by
Title:  Passing by
