Got beat again
Title:  Got beat again
Description:  I was heading home after chasing the southbound H train earlier-that effort is in "The Chase Is On"-when I saw this southbound on the Illinois River bridge. There was road work in progress between there and Watts, so chasing for the head end was out of the question. I was able to get the DPUs as the train passed the crossing leading to the bridge and Lake Frances.

Late catch
Title:  Late catch
Description:  Wed gone down to Tahlequah to see some family, and had returned via Stilwell and US 59, rolling up on through Westville. North of Westville we caught up to a northbound H train, which I shot going into Watts as the sun was getting low. The first photo was here at Chewie Rd south of Watts, three units, including a gray KCSM GE have 54 cars in tow.
