Wmter 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 jhe 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. |

Wide view |
| Description: |
Fuany 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. |
