Taking the siding |
| Description: |
We were leaving an appointment in Siloam when we heard a horn in the distance. It turned out to be a northbound empty grain train, which we took off after. We got to Gentry just as he reached the south siding switch. Here is taking the siding while the southbound dodger, returning to Watts, waits on the main. |

Pulled up just in time |
| Description: |
Actually, Id have liked to have been there 30 seconds sooner, to get a good oncoming shot, but you cant have everything, I suppose. Dodger L 102 rolls past Jefferson St just as I pulled up to the crossing. |

Sneaking up |
| Description: |
As the dodger puts his train into the yard, the southbound Q train rolls down the main behind him. The Q train will have a surprise, which well see once the dodger clears, and the Q train fixes a software problem on the lead unit. Remember when fixing a diesel issue was just resetting a relay?? |
