Welcome back
Title:  Welcome back
Description:  The KCS Heavener Sub was closed for three days following a 10" rain event that undercut the track for about a half mile north of the Illinois River, and about 1/4 mile south of the bridge, including inundating the north end of Watts siding. This H train is the first one I saw going north, the line now open. Its supposed to rain again this week, but less than 2" this time. Keeping our fingers crossed.

First train
Title:  First train
Description:  At least, the first one I saw. Most of the washout repair looked like it was done the previous day, though they were still tamping and surfacing when I was in Watts. Now its Tuesday evening, and this 131 car H train is rolling north across Lincoln Av at 1900. There may have been others during the day, I just did not see them. Its good to see trains running again. Amazing how much the track crews accomplished in a short time. Bringing up the rear is KCS 4034 as distributed power.
