Water fun |
| Description: |
What kind depends on your outlook. The folks in the river are largely oblivious to the train overhead, just happy for a day off work to cool off in the river. For the lunatic fans, the sight of this M train crossing the Elk River is the fun part. |

Good hustle |
| Description: |
Or the M train must have had an approach at the signal just south of Davidson Rd, since I usually could not get the shot there and beat the train to this spot. Today I got lucky, and was able to get both shots. We see the M train passing the Cobb feed mill. |

Under the bluff |
| Description: |
The bluff just south of Noel was a popular spot for KCS publicity photos, used the advertise their passenger trains back in the day. Its still a good location, though the rocks are somewhat overgrown all these years later. An M train rolls its 57 freight and 28 stack platforms through the scenic view. |

Wide view |
| Description: |
Funny how the angle makes such a difference. This wide view emphasizes the train more than the scenery, but the focal point of the rocks is not lost. Still scenic, different look at this M train. |

Mostly dry now |
| Description: |
A week ago, this was a raging torrent due to the almost ten inches of rain that fell between Friday night and Sunday. The creek bed has been washed over, but the bridge remains as steady as it has always been, the six units and 114 cars of the H train rolling across at speed. |

Leaning to the curve |

The best spot cleared of foliage by the US 59 project is here at Chewie Rd, where there is a fairly tight S curve. The southbound H train rolls into it, seen from the shoulder of the US 59 southbound side. |
