Almost caught him |
| Description: |
I heard a horn from a southbound, and took off. Usually I can beat the trains to Westville if I keep a reasonable, but quick pace down Ark 59 and over on US 62. Didnt quite get to move as fast as I would have liked, and wound up not having enough time to get ahead and set up, so got this shot of the head end crossing US 62. Turned out, this was enough, as there was only the one unit leading. The rest of the train would be interesting, though, as well see. |

| Description: |
A quick run to Baron, and Im ahead of the train, now able to set up for the shot coming by the old church. Today I go for it splitting the "lift plow" board and the milepost, 250 miles south of Kansas City. |
