Past the Cobb mill |
| Description: |
A quick turn and burn, and I beat the train, slowing for the switch at North Siloam, and I was able to get the train passing the Cobb feed mill in fading light, just catching the last sun. |

Why the 181 is in the siding |
| Description: |
I went to the crossing on Mt Olive Rd, north of Dorsey siding, to wait for the meet. I wasnt to be disappointed; the southbound showed in five minutes, a grain train behind a UP/KCS power set. Hes passing MP 213 with 93 cars. |

Took a bit |
| Description: |
Theres a short, but stiff grade coming up into Decatur that usually slows a heavy unit train, such as this one. He must have been inspired, as I usually catch them by Y City Rd, that we saw earlier. It was not to be. I went all the way down to Floyd Moore Rd before I caught him. The grain train rounds a curve along Ark 59 approaching Gentry |

Climbing up |

The grain train makes its way uphill into Davidson Rd, passing the large trackside tree, and an oblivious horse in the adjacent pasture. |
