Sometimes the chase comes to you |
| Description: |
We were down in Westville, just out for a ride in the nice weather-low 60s and sun-when we crossed the tracks to see this empty oil train coming north. Unfortunately, I was crossing from west to east, and had to wait for the train to pass before I could go after it. Thus, this is the first shot, taken near the intersection of US 59 and Chewie Rd, crossing an old stone culvert. This is the DPU-actually, the leading power on the way south-trailing 105 cars. |

Taking the siding |
| Description: |
The empty oil train takes the siding to pass a southbound AEPX train that is holding the main. Not sure why they do this. It has to be more efficient for the first train to take the siding, rather than the second train, which is moving, to roll through the siding at restricted speed. Theres probably a rule for that, and I am aware of the priority of trains by timetable, but even then, northbound trains have right over southbounds. |

Whose line is this?? |
| Description: |
A southbound AEPX train behind a UP unit gives a northbound empty oil train the roll by as the oil train takes the siding at Watts. The oil train had a single CP unit up front, and a pair of them pushing. KCS, anyone?? |
