Approaching approach |
| Description: |
The northbound grain move approaches signal 238-0, showing approach, as it will take the siding there, to meet the southbound holding the main. Interestingly, the defect detector here an MP 238 still announces "KCS detector." The detector at Davidson Road, north of Siloam, MP 226.7, has announced CPKC for a couple of months. |

Caught him |
| Description: |
I had started out with a southbound that met an empty grain train at Siloam; now there was another meet in the mix, the same southbound meeting this empty grain train. I had heard them talking about the meet on the radio, and went south to see if I could intercept the northbound. I was able to get him just as he reached the crossing north of Westville, |
