Bingo!!
Title:  Bingo!!
Description:  This is what wed been waiting for all day. A friend had come down from Chicago to check out the KCS, and we were looking for a solid set of Belles, which was something of a novelty at the time. Finally, this 84 car H train showed behind a pair of them. We were down at Elm St, south of town. The crossing sits in the middle of an S curve. The shot of a southbound isnt all that great, due to a hill on the inside of the curve, but the northbound shot is pretty good, especially early in the day.
