Colorful surprise |

Belles were new at this time, and it was a treat to find one. This light power move just north of Dorsey had two trailing, a splash of color on a cloudy day. |

Off the bridge |
| Description: |
By some miracle, I made all the lights in Siloam, and was able to get to the Illinois River bridge north of Wats ahead of the train. We see the southbound M train rolling off the Illinois River approaching Watts. Hell meet a northbound empty grain train here. |

And were on |
| Description: |
Wed had 8 plus inches of snow earlier in the week, and I wanted to go out and get some photos of trains in the snow while it was still here-snow is s religious event here; God sends it, God takes it away-since the cold usually doesnt last long. God was working overtime, as the forecast was for the high 30s, but temps were high 40s when I got out. So, not soi much snow. My first look at the railroad was to go up to Davidson Rd north of town. The signal there was green, so I went back down to set up for a shot. This is a southbound M train splitting the signals at North Siloam. |
