Closer |
| Description: |
The head end of the grain train rolls slowly to the signal at the south end of the siding, the empty northbound still fouling the switch. He was moving slowly, having now gotten the signal at the north end. |

Headed back, for now |
| Description: |
After the 261 passed, there was a southbound grain move, so I stuck around to chase it home. It was a good plan at the time, but my day was not complete, as Id soon discover. |

On the creek |
| Description: |
This shot gets harder to take every year, as the trees grow up along the creek. I need to get here earlier in the day, too, as the sun swings around far enough to put the nose of the leader in shadow this time of year. |
