Open
Title:  Open
Description:  I caught a southbound sand train as I was passing through Westville, but did not get ahead of him til Baron. This shot was seriously treed in til a few months ago, and you could barely see the signal. Now you can see all the way past the grade crossing. Good for photos, good for the folks crossing the tracks there.

Havent done this one in a while
Title:  Havent done this one in a while
Description:  The shot on the curve at the far north end of Stilwell has become a challenge, due to the brush that has grown up along the tracks. Today it wasnt too bad, so I tried the shot. Those wings look good coming around the curve.
