Snowy woods |

The line along Butler Creek is quite wooded in places, as this view of a 75 car northbound empty grain train attests. It looks pretty good with the snow accentuating the trees. |

Late catch |
Description: |
Wed gone down to Tahlequah to see some family, and had returned via Stilwell and US 59, rolling up on through Westville. North of Westville we caught up to a northbound H train, which I shot going into Watts as the sun was getting low. The first photo was here at Chewie Rd south of Watts, three units, including a gray KCSM GE have 54 cars in tow. |
