Last chance |
| Description: |
I had followed the northbound Q train from Cave Springs, getting a somewhat lit shot of it at Stilwell, and hoped to get some sun on it here, hoping the sun would still be high enough to get a little light. It wasnt to be, but there was still enough light to get a shot. By the time I got to Westville, there wasnt enough light left for a good photo, so this was as far as the "and back" went today. |

Just barely |
| Description: |
The sun had been in and out most of the afternoon, with large cloud banks moving past, though some were thin enough to let some light through. They lightened up enouigh here to get a decently lit shot of the northbound Q train just north of the Stilwell station. Today's effort has 9 articulated auto racks behind the power, 17 conventional auto racks and 19 stack platforms with mostly JB Hunt boxes back in the train, and 78 freight to round out a 508 axle consist. |

Cluttered |
| Description: |
A view from a 300mm lens shows the Q train passing the Stilwell station, but also a lot of clutter in the frame, what with poles, vehicles, signs, wires, etc. A gray AC 44 leads the train past the station, seen from across US 59. |

Going north |
| Description: |
We chased the coal train down into Gentry, only to be stymied by 5 PM traffic. As I looked in hopes of catching a glimpse of the DPU on the coal train, and noticed there was a northbound in the siding. I ran up to Y City Road in hopes there would be enough sun to get a passable shot. It was hit and miss, but it sorta worked, with three units on this northbound 49 car M SHKC. |
