Two views of the northbound
Title:  Two views of the northbound
Description:  After shooting the coal train, I decided the dodger was going to be long gone, and only going as far as Watts. The coal train had BNSF power, which by itself is fine, but in the face of the CP merger, Im trying to get as much KCS action as I can, so it was off to get the northbound, which I had not yet shot anyway. Here he is crossing Y City Road south of Decatur, splitting the crossbucks.

Taking the siding
Title:  Taking the siding
Description:  We were leaving an appointment in Siloam when we heard a horn in the distance. It turned out to be a northbound empty grain train, which we took off after. We got to Gentry just as he reached the south siding switch. Here is taking the siding while the southbound dodger, returning to Watts, waits on the main.
