By the detector |
| Description: |
The empty oil train rolls past the defect detector just south of Davidson Rd. This is a useful feature, as the axle count makes it unnecessary to count cars. |

Waiting... |
| Description: |
I heard a horn from the house that indicated a northbound train. I got out and headed toward town. As I got near Lake Frances Rd, I saw the red of a CP unit, and realized he was holding short of the crossing. This usually indicates a meet. I took the short side trip to shoot what turned out to be an empty oil train with a clean GE leading. |

Inside the curve |
| Description: |
Northbounds are in a left hand curve as they approach Lake Frances Drive, and since the sun was weak, and the train was stopped, I took the opportunity to get this shot that would have been backlit on a sunny day. |
