Grain train DPU |
| Description: |
While he was stopped at Watts, I went back to check the DPU. Unfortunately for the guys going to Bakery Feeds, he didnt clear the crossing. |

DPUs around the corner |
| Description: |
Just south of Chewie Rd, the reverse curve along US 59 straightens out, and we see the DPU of the grain train rolling around it at 30 MPH as it trails the 114 car train. |

Long view |
| Description: |
This view is from the old US 59 alignment that was bypassed when the new 4 lane was opened last year. Now I can take the shot without dodging 70 MPH feed trucks!! |

Swinging around |
| Description: |
The DPU on this southbound coal train swings around the tight S curve at MP 238 near Chewie Road. The US 59 widening project a few years ago cleared out the brush here, making this view possible. |

Peaceful scene |
| Description: |
I find a pasture of cows to be somehow quite tranquil-til a noisy train shows up!! I was far enough off that it wasnt quite so loud for me, but the cattle dont seem to be upset by the intrusion. Southbound grain DPU passes a field north of Westville. |
