More than quarter horses
Title:  More than quarter horses
Description:  A northbound grain train rolls past the driveway for Shockeys Farm, its sign proclaiming their featured stock. The KCS has something somewhat larger than quarter horses to handle their task. Sadly, this sign was taken down during the US 59 widening project, which upgraded the road to four lanes here.

Cherokee panorama
Title:  Cherokee panorama
Description:  The spread of eastern Oklahoma, Cherokee territory, is seen in this view of a northbound grain train just north of Westville. View is from what was then two lane US 59, which is going up a hill at this point. The new, four lane US 59 would open in 2016 about midway up the frame, roughly where the barbed wire fence is, relegating the road Im on to local access for some farms and a church. Its a much better vantage point now without the traffic.

View from above
Title:  View from above
Description:  One of the features of the US 59 project was taking out some of the hillside south of Watts. This made for a hill that is easily climbed, and which provides a good view of the tracks near MP 238. It is from that perch that we see a southbound grain train behind a pair of repainted AC44s rolling their 114 cars of grain south.

Coop-erating
Title:  Coop-erating
Description:  Southbound grain train slowly passes the Farmers Coop at the north end of Stilwell. Theres a northbound empty coal train that has just cleared into the siding, and the grainer is just getting the signal at N Stilwell. The power is a pair of originally gray AC44CWs, freshly repainted into the Belle scheme. The GEs have been lagging in getting repainted, so it was good to see these in the new scheme.

High above
Title:  High above
Description:  When US 59 was widened from two lanes to four here, this hillside was blasted away to allow for the new southbound lanes. It opened up this shot, since the hill was now easily accessible. A 114 car southbound grain train is passing along US 59 in this panoramic view.

Meeting a northbound
Title:  Meeting a northbound
Description:  The grain train meets the empty TXUX train at CP North Stilwell. The single unit is uncommon on the head an empty train, though there are two more on the rear. Practice is for BNSF to send the coal trains from Wyoming in a 2x1 configuration, with KCS adding DPU power on the rear at Pittsburg. This train had the KCS power cut off at Heavener, but the BNSF power was not rearranged once the train was empty. The two KCS units on the grain train are fresh repaints. Thats US 59 in the foreground.

Pulling down for a meet
Title:  Pulling down for a meet
Description:  Though theres already one going on here. I had seen the southbound grain train after I had dropped off recycling in Siloam, and decided to take chase. I caught up to him here in Watts, where he was holding the main for an impending northbound, but also because the dodger, L 102, was working the yard, using the siding for head room.

Oh, for the long days of summer!! Northbound M train rolling through the twilight north of Westville, the running lights giving away the train as it makes its way into night.

Rolling past
Title:  Rolling past
Description:  After getting the shot of the leader going past the signals, I ran to get it meeting the power on the Q train. He was a bit faster than me, and I didnt get the power passing power shot I wanted. This is still a pretty good action shot, though, of the Q train conductor giving the northbound a roll by.
