Waiting... |
| Description: |
The northbound H train waits for the southbound coal at the north end of Watts. It has just taken a new crew and will head north as soon as the coal train passes. This shot is a lot better now that the trees have been cleared out. |

Stretched out |
| Description: |
The northbound H train has pulled up past the yard office, its train stretched out down toward Bakery Feeds. Its only a 54 car train-with 7 units, though I think some of them are power balancing-but looks a lot longer as it glints in the late afternoon sun. |

Grandstanding |
| Description: |
My grandson plays for a third grade team in Westville. The games are in the afternoon, which gives me a good shot at the adjacent KCS. They were good enough to send a northbound H train past while the game was on. Theres a lot of clutter, but this is better than Vinita, where I can hear the trains, but not see them. Last time I was up there, six trains went past on BNSF and UP while the game was going. |

Late catch |
| Description: |
Wed gone down to Tahlequah to see some family, and had returned via Stilwell and US 59, rolling up on through Westville. North of Westville we caught up to a northbound H train, which I shot going into Watts as the sun was getting low. The first photo was here at Chewie Rd south of Watts, three units, including a gray KCSM GE have 54 cars in tow. |

The H train rolls away from the camera, showing the nice, low sun angle on the power, and the first car of steel coils. |
