Empty grain back north |
| Description: |
A northbound empty grain train rolls toward the Kenwood St crossing in Siloam, its bright colors in contrast to the advancing greenery of spring. This was one of those dumb luck shots. I was coming back across town after lunch and a couple of errands, just when the gates went down. I figured it would be the dodger-at that time of day, it usually is-but got a surprise when this guy showed up. Once in a while, I win one!! |

Empty coal |
| Description: |
Sometimes I can hear trains all the way from Watts, though usually not til they get closer to me in Siloam Springs. I heard what sounded like a northbound climbing the hill, but a quick ride around town yielded no train. I headed up to Davidson Rd to see what was going on, and found a southbound oil train on the crossing. I made a quick turn, and beat it for Watts. The oil train had gone through, no surprise there, but had met this coal train there. I caught it on the Illinois River bridge in cruddy light. Still a pretty shot, though. |

| Title: |
Southbound grain again |
| Description: |
Normally with these "out and back" series, I chase a train away from home, then another back. This day was a little different. After chasing the first grain train south, I didnt have anything to follow back. The light was getting low, and prospects were fading quickly. Then, as I came around a curve south of Watts, there was a headlight. It turned out to be this southbound, which I followed the short distance to Westville. |
