Roadside |
| Description: |
One of the better places to catch a train when on a chase, and also one of the last places to lose the light in the evening is here along MO 59 just south of Anderson. The northbound H train rolls toward KC with four Belles and a new UP unit. |

Morning shot |
| Description: |
Gravette can be a challenge to shoot in, since the angle is sometimes difficult. This morning shot is fairly wide open and unobstructed, though the leader is nose dark. All in all, an OK view, and you can get right back rolling if youre chasing. |

The AC44s were a lot slower to get the Belle treatment than the SD 70s, but they are finally catching up. A KCSM unit rolls north on an H train near Anderson. |

Short trip, long wait |
| Description: |
I heard a horn as we came back from lunch, and took off into town, expecting to chase a northbound. That guess was correct; what I didnt know was there was a southbound coal train holding the main. By the time I got it together, I had missed both trains at Siloam. I didnt want to be out too long, so went to Gentry to get the northbound. I got ahead, and climbed the embankment to the Ark 12 overpass, and waited...and waited...and waited. I figure either he was holding south of town to meet a southbound-KCS does this so not to block crossings-or he was picking up DPUs from the Flint Creek Spur. I was about to give up on the effort after about 30 minutes in 95 degrees, when I heard a horn to the south, and shortly after saw a column of smoke as the train pulled away from the spur, about a mile to the south. Here he is, four original units, and three picked up off the spur, with 115 empty oil cans. |
