Down to Sleepy Hollow
Title:  Down to Sleepy Hollow
Description:  The head end of the TXUX coal train rolls through CP Flint Creek as it heads toward Sleepy Hollow and Siloam in the gathering gloom. The track at right is the spur to SWEPCOs Flint Creek power plant, which is served by trains originating on Union Pacific.

About time
Title:  About time
Description:  When I was following the northbound empty grain train, he called to a train at Dorsey, between Decatur and Gravette. He had an apporach signal at 219, so would likely get an approach medium at 216 in Decatur, indicating he would be getting a signal at South Dorsey to take the siding there for a meet. I went to Mt Olive Rd to set up for the southbound, hopefully getting there before he did, and shooting both trains, then chasing the southbound back home. I need not have feared. The southbound, this TXUX coal train headed for Texas, showed up 45 minutes later. The best laid plans.....

CP Flint Creek
Title:  CP Flint Creek
Description:  The TXUX train passes the home signal at CP Flint Creek, where the spur to the SWEPCO plant diverges. A little of the snow we got the previous week is still hanging on here.
