On the creek bridge |
| Description: |
The next shot was at Baron Creek, from US 59. Its an easy shot, right from the shoulder of the road. Some day when Im far enough ahead, Ill get down in the creek bed for the shot up at the bridge. |

I had to do one |
| Description: |
This is the one wedge shot I got of this train. My preferred spot, about 1/4 mile farther north, where the tracks come around a curve by the DaVita Dialysis building, is now grown over, so I have to compromise. So Im down by the body shop at the crossing. Still, a good looking train. |

New view |
| Description: |
After waiting for the train to pass me at Gentry so I could shoot the DPUs meeting, I had a hard time getting ahead of it through Siloam, which is a real obstacle in a chase if you started north of there. I passed a shot at Watts, since the train seemed to be making good time past the yard. I wanted to set up for this new angle, possible since the US 59 project had taken down the trees that previously blocked the view. Looks like a good spot. |

Pulling on through |
| Description: |
A second view of the TXUX train rolling through the S curve at Chewey Rd. This is going to be a good spot. If I could just get a little more height.... |

Glint |
| Description: |
Even in the bright sun, the headlights glint off the sides of the aluminum cars. The head end of the southbound is now far enough down the main so the northbound can get a signal. |

MP 259 |
| Description: |
The TXUX coal train rolls its 124 cars past MP 259 and on toward Sallisaw and Heavener, where it will change crews. If I had more time, I would rn the 27 miles to Sallisaw, and get him passing the yard there. In between, there are not a lot of good, easily accessible photo locations. For today, the chase is off. |

By the station |
| Description: |
The view from the US 59 overpass south of town shows the head end passing the old passenger station. Its a good view. Id like to try it with a 1000mm lens some time. With 250mm, we still get a decent shot, and a view of the area around the station, as well as a look at the train rolling around the curve to the north. |

Indifference |
| Description: |
The cows in this pasture north of Westville seem uninterested in the passing racket as they continue to graze. Shot was taken from the old US 59 alignment-thats the new four lane road in the foreground-which will now be a great location for a long, overhead shot now that the traffic is off it. |
