Finally the eastbound
Title:  Finally the eastbound
Description:  When I stopped to get the shot of the DPU, I saw a headlight in the distance. Oh good, a meet, I thought, as the eastbound approached. I was expecting the eastbound to be moving with some dispatch, but he must have taken ten minutes to get there. Finally he arrived, a stack train behind a trio of GEs

Two out of three aint bad
Title:  Two out of three aint bad
Description:  The oil train was headed south, the lead power under the US 412 overpass, and not photographable, so I did the next best thing, and went to Tahlequah St to get the meet with the impending northbound, which we see approaching here, The grain train, an empty northbound, was just hitting the detector at Davidson Rd, 2 miles to the north, as I pulled up to get the first shot of this series. So I was able to get two of the three trains in this three way meet.

On the blocks
Title:  On the blocks
Description:  Theres usually not enough traffic close together that one train runs on anothers blocks. Today was one of those times, as the coal train was only a few miles behind the grain move. The northbound AEPX train takes an approach at CP North Siloam Springs, the grain move not yet in Gentry.
