Stop and proceed |
| Description: |
The 181 has passed, 39 stack platforms and 28 autoracks, leaving the block occupied. The signal is still lit, an indication there is more going on. |

The quarry |
| Description: |
The 181 I chased was not far behind, and I shot it here crossing Y City Rd, passing the old paddock. Hes slowing for the signal, and will take the siding in another five minutes or so. |

Anticipation |
| Description: |
I was working in the yard when I heard a northbound approaching. A quick pit stop and grab a soda later, and I was on my way. There was a 181 going north as I got into town, but far enough ahead of me, and moving well enough to beat me to Gentry. I got ahead of him at Y City Rd south of Decatur, and pulled up for the shot, to see an approach as I crossed the tracks. Hell have an approach medium at 216-8 in Decatur, and will take the siding at Dorsey. |

A heavily graffitied Ferromex autorack rolls north on the 181 train just south of Decatur. A nice touch here is that we can see both the number on the flatcar, and on the rack. |

APL logo |
| Description: |
Back in the day when stack trains were still something of a novelty, American President Lines had a large eagle on their containers, and their trains were long strings of these boxes, stretched out for more than a mile. Now the logo has changed, and its APL Logistics. More accurate than the eagle, but a lot less impactful. This one is on the KCS, on the 181 train |

No name |

Given the way equipment gets leased, comes off lease, gets sold, etc, it should be no surprise that some of it winds up patch painted, such as this pair of former EMP boxes, seen on the northbound 181 train south of Decatur on the KCS |

Into the shadows |
| Description: |
The DPU rolls into the shadows created by the tunnel of trees on this late Saturday afternoon on its way south. Meanwhile, the northbound is slowly pulling away toward Stilwell. It will hold south of town as another TXUX train followed by the 262, hold north of town, where the northbound will meet both. The light will go before they are in position for a photo. Such is the life of a railfan on a chase. |

Caught him |
| Description: |
I was outside working in the yard-the way a lot of these chases start-and heard a horn. Off I went, though not realizing I had a northbound as well, that had met this train at Siloam. He hit the detector north of town as I was getting underway. I ran through town, and beat it down 65 MPH US 59, catching what turned out to be this TXUX train headed for Texas as it passed some otherwise disinterested cattle. |

Flags and a visitor |
| Description: |
The flags were not a big deal. Even after CP stopped repainting its diesels in the "Dual Flags" scheme, they showed up in it for some time after. The visitor was the second unit. While not unheard of on CP, Guilford power was something of an anomaly. This set is northbound on 413 at Depot Rd |

Rolling into the sunset |
| Description: |
Literally and figuratively. The trains DPU is rolling southwest by compass into the setting sun, and will be in the dark by the time he reaches Westville. The Toyota at right has been the "railfan chase vehicle" for the last decade. I bought it new-24 miles on it-in April 2014, and have put 155,500 miles on it since then, chasing all over America for all kinds of things, and a lot of trains, too. This is its last such outing. We just acquired at Subaru Outback Touring XT, which has 105 miles on it, and will replace the Toyota. Its staying in the family, my wifes son is getting it, but were moving up to a newer ride. The Toyota served us well for ten years. But now weve been dog tested, dog approved, and moving onward. |

Beat him |
| Description: |
The trains at Davidson Rd are pulling a pretty stiff grade, and once I get the shot there, if I hustle, I can beat him to Country Club Rd for this shot of the train rolling past the Cobb feed mill. If I get a good enough lead, I can beat him to Tahlequah St, where the signals are for CP North Siloam Springs. |

I had gone out to get and oil change and a car wash on the RAV4, and decided, since there was still a little light left at 1730, to check the signals in town. Lo and behold, the automatic at Davidson Rd is high green!! I pulled off and waited, to be rewarded three minutes later by a southbound TXUX train, rolling past my favorite tree, dragging 125 cars uphill from Sleepy Hollow |
