Stretched out |
| Description: |
This southbound GEMX coal train stretches out of sight as it passes signal 249-8. The brush and tree cutting here has really opened up the scene. |

Swinging through the curve |
| Description: |
The US 59 widening project opened up a couple of views due to brush and tree removal. One more dramatic scene is this S curve at Chewie Rd. A GEMX coal train rolls through at the posted 30 MPH as seen from across the highway. |

Going downhill |
| Description: |
The GEMX train rolls past the waiting empty AEPX train as it makes for the grade into the Illinois River valley and Watts. Thats the US 412 overpass ahead of the train, a some time platform for my photos. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
Trains spend a lot of time waiting. This one is north of Country Club Rd, where there is enough track space to fit a 125 car coal train between here and the next crossing north, Davidson Rd. The KCS is pretty good about not blocking crossings in town any longer than needed for a meet. There was a northbound empty AEPX train on the way up from Watts-slowly. This southbound was here about 20 minutes before he moved. |
