Taking the siding |
| Description: |
We were leaving an appointment in Siloam when we heard a horn in the distance. It turned out to be a northbound empty grain train, which we took off after. We got to Gentry just as he reached the south siding switch. Here is taking the siding while the southbound dodger, returning to Watts, waits on the main. |

Into the sun |
| Description: |
The ahot of the 181 was almost directly into the sun. We though about following it north for a while, as it would have been nice to get the Belle leader in the snow, but the light was just totally wrong-and the coal train leader was clean. |
