The approach signal at Davidson Rd meant a stop board here at North Siloam, and the train is holding out north of the signal, waiting for a meet with the 261 train. Hell be here 45 minutes before pulling down into the siding, his train stretched out over a mile behind him. Hell block Country Club Rd, but thats about all. |

Making the grade |
| Description: |
Theres another steep climb coming up out of Sleepy Hollow, which taxes the southbound loaded trains. After getting the shot at Gentry, I was able to get ahead far enough to see the signal was at approach, and the train had not yet come around the curve at the base of the hill. The next jump would be a lot less frantic. |

DPU |
| Description: |
In the CPKC regime, the operating plan has moved to mid train DPUs, and its become common to see them on grain and mineral trains. The 4111 was 61 cars deep in the 125 car train. We saw it as a DPU on a coal train back in January-see the Snow Days album-and it was dirty then. Doesnt look like its had a bath since that day. |

Taking advantage |
| Description: |
The line through Decatur is on a steep grade going south, so its usually not much of a challenge to get ahead of a train. I got about a mile south of the prevous spot downtown to get this more scenic shot across a pasture. Pretty sky |

First encounter |
| Description: |
Wed just come back from Wal Mart, and in the process of unloading the weeks goodies, I heard a horn. I quickly got the stuff in the house and took off. Turned out what I thought was a northbound wasnt, but I sometimes dont catch up to them right away, since the northbounds are usually lighter trains, and can get a good roll on. So, I went to Decatur, hoping that was the case, and Id catch it. When I got to Decatur, the signal was lit green for a southbound. Ill take it. At least I didnt waste the trip. A KCS Belle leads 125 cars of grain south. |

Its a match |

I notice the trucks on tank cars, among others, often carry the reporting marks of the cars they are carrying. I wonder how often they get separated from their assigned cars. This one was on a 261 train. |

Coming back from dinner |
| Description: |
We had just left Callahans in Siloam when we heard a horn. A quick turn revealed a southbound approaching. I wasnt fast enough to get this 262 off the US 412 overpass, but did get it at Lake Frances Rd with a KCSM leader. Behind him was 59 freight a mid train DPU, and ten auto racks. |

Breakfast treat |
| Description: |
We were headed to breakfast one morning last week, and got up into town to find this empty northbound train rolling through, with a whopping six units. We got around it, beating it to Gentry. MOW was working on the main, so he was routed through the siding, which helped our chase. |

I knew a grain train wasnt going over the Heavener Sub with just a single unit, and I was right. Consecutively numbered SD 70ACes are spliced in 50 cars deep in the 100 car train. There will be one more unit on the rear, too. |

Another surprise |
| Description: |
We went back to Noel, thinking wed get one more shot of the northbound, but he was playing with the power, and swe didnt stay, since it was now getting toward 1800, and dinner was calling. When we got down to Gravette, we came up beside this southbound grain move. He had not talked to the 4701 north when we were at Noel, and we werent able to see it through the trees, so we had no idea of its existence. We caught up at Decatur, here rolling past the stuffed and mounted F 7, a single unit leading 100 cars. There are DPUs, as well see shortly. |

Perfectly posed |
| Description: |
Not hearing any radio chatter, we went on up to Ginger Blue, planning to get the shot of the northbound here. When we got there, we found this southbound grain move sitting on the Elk River bridge. Couldnt have asked for a better spot. A pair of GEs(what else) leads over a rain swollen river. |

Flood zone |
| Description: |
I usually get the shot of a northbound crossing Butler Creek here at Noel, but this was as close as I was getting today. Kingshighway low water crossing is at high water, and blocked off. The only shot was going away, as we see here. This was the last time wed see this train, as hed meet two grain trains here. |

Cleared out |
| Description: |
I dont know if the railroad did some clearing, or its just early enough in the season that the right of way isnt yet grown over, but it seems the trees are not encroaching on the shot as they did last year. The 4701 rolls north under the Ark 59 overpass. |

Surprise!! |
| Description: |
We pulled down to the crossing here at Mt Olive Rd, just north of Dorsey siding-the one place he didnt have a meet-and settled in, wanting to get the shot here with the creek high. Theres a crossing about a half mile to the south that you can usually hear them blowing for, but today for some reason, it didnt happen, and we got surprised. Still a decent shot. |

The coal train has now completed its move onto the siding. The dispatcher will normal the switch, and the northbound will resume its spotty progress. |
