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. |

Straightening out |

The coal train has come through the S curve near Chewie Rd, and is taking to the more or less tangent north of the curve, though the train itself is still winding through it. |

Ready to head in |

The coal train has slowed to take the switch at CP South Watts, and will shortly be entering the siding. I get a sun glint shot as he rolls around the curve just to the south. |
