Lucky catch |
| Description: |
We were on our way up to Gentry for breakfast, and saw this 262 heading for us as we crossed the KCS at Lincoln St with a clean Belle leading a pair of CP units. |

And were off |
| Description: |
The 181 cleared the south end of Watts, and the 262 got underway, seen here getting a roll on as it comes around the corner at MP 237. I figured I could chase him to Westville, seven miles south, then get back for the coal train, which still had to move into the siding at 15 MPH, then get to the south end, and back onto the main at 15 MPH. That proved to be a viable approach, and I was able to get some shots of the 262, which has an attractive power set. |

Getting grown over |
| Description: |
Its been almost ten years since ODOT widened US 59 here to four lanes. As part of that project, there was a lot of brush clearing. Now, a bit of it has grown back in, and its beginning to obscure what for a few years was a clear shot of a nice S curve. The 262 rolls through, the power now partly hidden. |

Past the barn |

And several rows of hay stored up against it, a picture of rural tranquility, momentarily broken by the passing of a 108 car freight. |

262 redux |
| Description: |
The 262 I saw on the way to breakfast got to Watts and then canned. It later got a recrew, and rolled on south, ahead of a coal train. Here it is seen from the US 59 shoulder as it approaches Westville. Interestingly, the DPU on this train was consecutive to the trailing unit, CP 8612. Go figure. |

Taking the siding |
| Description: |
We were headed up to Gentry for breakfast. When we got to the Lincoln St crossing, there was a southbound approaching, which turned out to be the 262 train, here taking the siding for a northbound that we didnt wait for, The tele view brings in the Cobb mill, a mile or so to the north, just beyond Country Club Rd. This would not be the only encounter with this train today. |
