Straggler |
| Description: |
After shooting the 181 at Noel, I headed back home. The Heritage unit app said there was a coal train with a gray KCSM GE, but the report had it in Poteau several hours earlier, and I figured it either got past me, or it was stuck in Watts for a new crew To my surprise, I saw the signal at 219-2 showed clear, and I waited the five or so minutes for it to show, here at Y City Rd, just after the sun dipped below the trees. |

Another northbound |
| Description: |
The reason for the coal trains wait at South Watts is now apparent. I had gone south to see if I could intercept the next northbound, but he was farther up than I expected, and was only able to get this grab shot from the turn lane of US 59 of the approaching 181. |
