Odd place for a DPU
Title:  Odd place for a DPU
Description:  Usually the DPU will be at the end of the train, except where there are intermodal cars of auto racks, in which case it will be ahead of them. This H train had its DPU ahead of a pair of side dump cars which had been used in fixing the recent washout here at Watts. My guess is that they are restricted from being pushed.

Coal train DPUs
Title:  Coal train DPUs
Description:  I had chased the H train down to Baron and was returning home through Westville, when I looked over to see a TXUX train going south. There was no way I was going to catch the head end without a ride back to Baron, so I opted to get the shot of the trailing units across the pasture. A nice looking set of power trails south, giving the heavy train a push past some future steaks.

Always in the wrong place
Title:  Always in the wrong place
Description:  I had chased H SHKC up from Stilwell to Watts, where he was doing yard work. I figured that could take a while, and Id been out a couple of hours, so headed for home. I got to the crossing just north of the bridge when I heard a horn. I looked over to see the Q train headed south. Unfortunately, he was too far along for me to come around and set up a shot on the Illinois River, so took this grab shot from the car window. Cant win em all!!

Giving a push
Title:  Giving a push
Description:  The Q trains, if they get a DPU, usually have it ahead of the stacks and autos. Todays train was different. There were 17 stacks and 4 racks right behind the power, then 74 cars of general freight, so I was surprised to see this guy trailing along behind.

Coal DPUs
Title:  Coal DPUs
Description:  The DPUs on the southbound TXUX train are just beyond the signals at CP North Stilwell. I didnt get a car count, but those trains have been running 125 to 135 cars lately. It would meet a 124 car H train here. This guy was holding back so not to block the crossing south of the Stilwell station.

Northbound surprise
Title:  Northbound surprise
Description:  This EMD demonstrator was in the northbound H train today. I had seen it the previous week southbound, but was not in a good position to get a shot. Sometimes karma is good to me; a week later, I got it in great light.

Dont see these much here
Title:  Dont see these much here
Description:  End cabs are still around on the KCS, though most often seen in the big yards or where there is a lot of switching done. We rarely see them on this part of the railroad. This one must be in transit somewhere. It was on the northbound H train.

Holding the main
Title:  Holding the main
Description:  There is a southbound grain train holding the main as the H train takes the siding. It will work here, making both a set off and a pick up. Todays H train is 147 cars, and it will block the south end for quite a while, making a long wait for the guys on the grain train. The grainer has one of the few Belle painted AC44's leading.
