Over the creek |
| Description: |
US 59 from Watts south to Westville is being upgraded to a four lane. As part of this improvement, there has been a lot of tree and brush cuttijg, resulting in some better photo opportunities. One of these is the bridge over Barren Creek, just south of Watts, where we see a southbond 111 cap grain train. |

Close |
| Description: |
Southbound stone train at the crossing along US 59 as a car approaches, then stops, maybe a little too close for the engineers comfort. This crossing has difficult sight lines for both the train and vehicles. |

Grab shot |
| Description: |
I had chased this stone train south through Siloam Springs, always a chancy effort, and caught up to him just as he was clearing the south end of the siding at Watts. I pulled into a side road, rolled down the window and fired. A little off level, but otherwise came out OK/ Hustle pays!! |
