Barren Creek |
| Description: |
A northbound empty grain train rolls across the Barren Creek bridge. Oklahoma DOT cleared out most of the brush between the railroad and adjacent US 59 as part of a project that will see US 59 become a 4 lane from just north of Watts, where the 4 lane presently ends, to Westville, opening up this view, among many others. |

Dodging the shadows |
| Description: |
The shadows get long on the KCS due to a ridge to the west of the railroad. Fortunately there are places the sun still hits til late, such as this near MP 239. KS 4787 and four other units roll 105 empty grain hoppers north. They will meet a southbound at Watts. |

Pastoral scene |
| Description: |
An empty grain train rolls north past so future dinners. I took this from the shoulder of US 59 soon be "old" 59. The new 4 lane right of way is visible in the foreground. When its completed, it will take the thrill out of this location-no more dodging feed trucks at 65 MPH. |
