It starts with a horn
Title:  It starts with a horn
Description:  We had just gotten back from a trip to Rogers for lunch/shopping, and I had just finished putting the stuff away, when I heard a horn from what sounded like a northbound. Lately, it seems every time I set foot outside, theres a train. This was the first sunny day in about a week, so out the door I went. The quarry turned out to be a northbound empty American Electric Power train returning from Texas, seen here at Davidson Rd, all four units up front of its 124 cars.

Inspired
Title:  Inspired
Description:  The northbounds usually make good time, since theyre empty and lighter. This crew must have been on the way home, they werent wasting any time. He beat me to Gentry, but I was able to outrun him to Y City Rd just south of Decatur.

Dodging the shadows
Title:  Dodging the shadows
Description:  This shot is now possible only when the leaves are off, since the trees here, when in full foliage, now block most of the view. The low sun is creating a lot of shadow at 1530 for the northbound.

Along the rocks
Title:  Along the rocks
Description:  The empty coal train rolls below Butler Bluff as it heads to a meet with the 262, which is waiting in the siding. Leader UP 5888 is a recent repaint, now in the small cab side flag, and no wings on the nose scheme. Too bad. The large flag was a good look, but got pretty ratty as it wore. But the nose wings were an elegant touch, harkening back to a storied past.
