A hundred feet more
Title:  A hundred feet more
Description:  This is one of those "close but no cigar" shots. The southbound KCS train didnt quite make it out of the shadows to have the meet in the sun. If the northbound had gone a hundred feet less, and the southbound 100 feet more, it would have been killer. Oh well....

Lined and locked

Got the board
Title:  Got the board
Description:  The Q train now has the signal to continue south, as the coal train has cleared. This was an efficient meet. Nobody stopped rolling, no delay. The way it should be.
