Pulling down for a meet |
Description: |
Though theres already one going on here. I had seen the southbound grain train after I had dropped off recycling in Siloam, and decided to take chase. I caught up to him here in Watts, where he was holding the main for an impending northbound, but also because the dodger, L 102, was working the yard, using the siding for head room. |

Dodger in the pink |
Description: |
I heard the radio say the dodger was going to Gentry to change ends, so I waited, figuring I could at least see it, if not get a photo. There was still enough light in the sky to work a silhouette. To my great delight, the sky had picked up a swath of pink from the now departed sun hitting a cloud, giving this unusual scene. Three units have 11 cars in tow. |

Getting harder to find |
Description: |
The dodger, L 102, rolls south behind a gray GP 38. Once a common scheme, now it seems almost all the four motor power has been repainted into the Belle scheme. It used to be I would look for a Belle unit leading. Now, the rarity is one in the old scheme. Southbound going under US 412 with 15 cars. |

New arrival |
Description: |
For the almost year and a half since the CP-KCS merger, the dodger power has been unchanged, using the same pool of GPs in has for the last several years. That changed recently when a CP GP 20ECO showed up, here leading as the Watts based dodger works at Pipelife in Sioam Springs. |
