Straggler |
| Description: |
After shooting the 181 at Noel, I headed back home. The Heritage unit app said there was a coal train with a gray KCSM GE, but the report had it in Poteau several hours earlier, and I figured it either got past me, or it was stuck in Watts for a new crew To my surprise, I saw the signal at 219-2 showed clear, and I waited the five or so minutes for it to show, here at Y City Rd, just after the sun dipped below the trees. |

Northbound gray |

We has just finished breakfast in Gentry-at Miss Marys, which has a view of the tracks-when this empty TXUX train went north. We gave chase, and Diane got coming and going shots. Heres the oncoming northbound at a grade crossing south of Decatur. |

| Title: |
The chase continues |
| Description: |
In an unusual twist, because I usually dont see a return trip, I caught the northbound empty move of the train I had seen the previous Saturday, now returning to the mine. The trailing unit, a CP GE, came off somewhere to the south, but the other four units stayed with the train. We had just finished breakfast in Gentry, when the train came through. We followed it up to just south of Decatur, getting it at a side road crossing south of town. |
