Going away |
| Description: |
The sun was not in my favor for this northbound empty grain train, but the light was good for the going away shot, at the Ark 59S crossing north of downtown. |

Beat me to the crossing |
| Description: |
I had followed this northbound empty grain train up from Siloam, but traffic-seems to be a lot of it these days, pandemic or not-got the better of me, and I was not able to set up. Still was able to get a grab shot from the car. Oh well.... |

Over the creek |
| Description: |
About three miles south of Cave Springs, just below Bunch, is a short bridge over a creek. Ive wanted to try the shot for a while, and today was my chance. It works well with two units, and probably three. More will be too many. But its a good spot. |

Out of the shadows |
| Description: |
Its now the time of year where the sun is low, and the shadows reach places they would not other times of year. One must adjust accordingly. The southbound grain train splits the signals at CP North Watts as it blasts south, catching a patch of sun as it rolls past. |

From the high ground |
| Description: |
I was able to get ahead of him, due to a slow order south of Chewie Rd, and grabbed this shot from the old US 59 alignment. |

Close in |
| Description: |
I got sandbagged by slowpokes coming down from Westville, and missed the shot at the crossing in Baron, but was able to catch up before he got to the crossing near MP 252. I was hoping for a little more color, but its a bit early yet for this far south. I got the train in the trees, even if they are mostly green. |

Wider view |
| Description: |
A wider view from the same spot. Hopefully in a week or two, I can do this shot with some foliage, which is notoriously lackluster in these parts. |

Blowing past the station |
| Description: |
I had enough time to get set up on the light pole base and frame the shot. Good thing, I wasnt as far ahead as I thought. CP power rolling past the KCS station |

Anticipation |
| Description: |
Carly Simon notwithstanding, the approach of a train always raises ones awareness. The wait wont be long, though. Two minutes later, hell be on me |
