Caught him |
| Description: |
I was outside working in the yard-the way a lot of these chases start-and heard a horn. Off I went, though not realizing I had a northbound as well, that had met this train at Siloam. He hit the detector north of town as I was getting underway. I ran through town, and beat it down 65 MPH US 59, catching what turned out to be this TXUX train headed for Texas as it passed some otherwise disinterested cattle. |

Home signal and a milepost |
| Description: |
The southbound train passes the northbound home signal, and MP 269. The northbound will start rolling shortly, but I wont see him again. |

Horsing around |
| Description: |
The horses appear no more interested in the passing noise than their bovine companions as the southbound coal rolls past. |

MP 252 |
| Description: |
The coal train rolls past MP 252, just to the left of the train. I was hoping to find some Branford pear trees, which are in glorious bloom right now, but it seems there are no flowering trees near the tracks. Oh well. |
