Happened again |
| Description: |
A few days before this, I caught the DPU on a southbound while coming back from getting bagels. This day, we were coming back from Wal Mart, and saw this southbound coal train moving as we took the ramp to Ar k 59. I missed the head end, but was able to get the DPU as it passed the south end of the siding, and crossed Lake Frances Rd. Oh, well... |

Another recycling trip |
| Description: |
It was a nice day, 50s and sun, with snow/clouds in store for the next several days, and I had all the boxes and such from Christmas overflowing my bins, so it was time. I dumped all the recycling, and went to check signals. As I was approaching Davidson Rd, I saw a southbound. I did better than last time, catching him at Country Club Rd, a KCSM unit leading a CP unit at 63 cars past the Cobb mill. |

Swinging through |
| Description: |
The southbound rolls through the S curve, straightening out as it rolls south. The shrubbery is starting to get tall here, Next summer may be a problem with this angle. |

Wide at the barn |
| Description: |
Pulling back gets a wider angle, and some train in the photo, better than a moving roster shot. |

Peek-a-boo |
| Description: |
The head end of the 262 train sneaks around the curve and into view at MP 237. For a brief moment I considered running up to the Illinois River bridge to shoot the 261 train, which at this time of day is a beautiful, well lit shot, and would have been worthy with a pair of fairly clean KCS units, but decided to go with the southbound, which was well lit, and which I wanted to follow to Westville. Ill get more chances at the bridge shot. |

Now were moving |
| Description: |
The 262 train gets some speed up as it rolls through the curve, and starts south. He wont gain a lot of speed right away, and Ill get several shots in the next couple of miles. |
