Lots of traffic here |

A look at the NY Dock pier in Brooklyn Heights, seen from the East River, shows a lot of cars on the dock and carfloats. This area is rail isolated, and this is the only way these cars can get here. |

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. |

Big tree |
| Description: |
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 |

Well, kinda. I was going to get him here, then run to get the train off the US 59 overpass, but the camera wouldnt fire. Turned out I was out of film-Id used up all the images on that SD card. Should have been checking!! Oh, well. There will be other days. Meanwhile, the train splits the signals at CP North Stilwell. |

To the nines. |
| Description: |
I headed down to Westville to see if I could catch the coal train coming north. After a bit of a wait, he showed, a TXUX train with a UP leader, and both units ending in "99". The power on coal trains mixes a lot more lately than it used to; these trains used to get solid BNSF consists, with KCS power added to get them over the hilly Heavener Sub. We see it north of Westville. |

The grain train I shot at Siloam made it as far as Watts, where he held the main-for about 45 minutes. He was waiting on an empty northbound coal train. I could have shot the 181 in Gentry and still made it back here for the meet. So it goes , another day of railfanning. |

Southbound grain close up |

The grain train rolls its 105 cars under the US 412 overpass, and heads down the hill to Watts. Should have let him go, and followed the 181, which had a pair of Belles, the leader a KCSM AC 44 leading, up to Gentry. Youll see why shortly. |

It started with a horn in the distance |
| Description: |
I was outside working on some yard task, when I heard a horn off to the south. I took off for town to see what was up. A check of the signal at South Siloam Springs showed a restricting-see the Track and Signals album for that sequence-so a northbound will be taking the siding. By the time I got into position, the train-it was the 181, whose back end we see here-was already too far up for me to get a good shot, and the southbound you see here had passed the detector up at Davidson Rd. I set up on the US 412 bridge, and shot the back end meet. |

I heard a northbound coming up from Watts, and stopped to check the signal at South Siloam Springs. It was red over red, with the bottom head flashing, a restricting signal. The train-it turned out to the the 181-was going to take the signal for a southbound grain move. |

| Description: |
There is no interlocking connected to this signal, and Im not sure why such a signal would exist. Yet, here it is, south of the US 62 crossing in Westville. |

Restricting No 3 |
| Description: |
Were back to red over red. As I pulled away, I heard the 181 calling the signal, about the same time the southbound was getting his info from the detector up at Davidson Rd. I decided to get the southbound from the US 412 overpass, and didnt get the 181, which had KCSM 4539 for a leader. Should have chased him to Gentry; the grain train would wait 45 minutes at Watts for a northbound empty coal move. |

Took a while |
| Description: |
I was home, and heard a horn coming from a northbound working uphill from Watts. This should be a fairly easy quest, so I went a got a soda and headed out. By the time I got up into town, he was already on Lincoln Av, and I was playing catch up. Heavy traffic at Gentry, and a couple of slowpokes, and I had just caught up to his head end at Gravette. Finally, Im ahead enough to set up, getting this shot off the Ark 59 overpass of the 261 train behind 4 units. |

DPUs and track equipment |

The DPU on the grain train pulls past a piece of equipment on the team track at Siloam Springs. This area is often used in track season to load and unload, or park, equipment being used in the area. |

Going for breakfastA |
| Description: |
I had ordered a couple of bagels, and was on the way to pick them up, when this southbound showed up as I was coming up Lincoln Av. Dismal skies, of course, but I took the shot anyway. Sorta OK. |
