Quick turn around |
| Description: |
My wife does Bible study with a group of ladies on Thursday afternoons, so I take the opportunity to go after anything that shows up while shes out. Not five minutes after she left the house, I heard a horn, which sounded like a northbound. I got out, taking her Dodge Stratus R/T, and headed into town. As I reached Lake Frances Rd, I saw a southbound coal train rolling toward Watts. I made a quick U turn, and headed for Westville, working back toward Watts. I made it about two miles up, when I saw the train headed south. A quick turn around later, I shot him from the shoulder of US 59, and took off. |

A little hustle |
| Description: |
After getting the shot up at the cow pasture, I hustled down to Buffington Rd, hoping Id beat the train there. I sorta did, getting this shot out the car window as it approached the crossing. |

Framed |
| Description: |
After a quick ride down to Baron, eight miles away, I was able to get ahead far enough to set up for him coming through what passes for town there. The power is framed by, first, the crossbucks for a private crossing, then the lift plow sign, and MP 250. |

Closer |
| Description: |
Now having passed the crossing, the power is framed by the milepost and lift plow sign, a slightly different perspective. |
