By the barn #2 |
| Description: |
I waited on the coal train, now taking a position up on the old US 59 alignment, now a local road. It gave me a more panoramic view of the area than the shot from the new US 59 shoulder. The pair of EMDs has 123 cars of Texas bound coal in hand, passing the familiar hay bales. |

Off the bridge |
| Description: |
I am not usually able to catch a southbound at Watts due to the traffic in Siloam Springs; just too much of it, and a bunch of lights, to beat a train. So there had to be something going on that I was able to beat this train here. Not complaining, its a good shot from the shoulder of US 59 |
