Almost |
| Description: |
The 181 and its 25 stack platforms has passed the last spot of sun along MO 59 south of Anderson, just a little too late to get some light on the power. Oh well...longer days are coming. |

Just a little too late |
| Description: |
I had started to head back for home, when I spied the 181 through the trees. I was out of position to get him at Noel, so chased to Ginger Blue for a shot on the bridge. Its not sun side this time of year, and I was only able to get a shadow side shot. |

Last sun |
| Description: |
I beat the 181 to Lanagan, where the last sun was peeking over the hill. The train rolls past the automatic at MP 195, and a stack of cast off concrete ties. |

| Description: |
The lighting was better for the going away shot, and we see the power in a better light as it moves away from me, |

One more at Wolf Creek |
| Description: |
I took off, making the side trip to Wolf Creek just ahead of the train, catching it as the shadows now covered the waterway. |

Snaking along |
| Description: |
The empty coal train beat me to the Ark 59 overpass in Sulphur Springs, but I was able to get him approaching the Kingshighway crossing at Noel, snaking through the curves along Butler Creek |

Waiting for a meet, and a surprise |
| Description: |
There was some chatter about a train to the north, at McElhany, and it seemed my coal train was going to be held here at Noel. When I got up into town, I found it sitting at the station, now city hall, with an unexpected companion, the Loram rail grinding train, which had been working on the line earlier in the week. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
There was chatter about a train at MdElhany, the next siding to the north, and a power swap. It seemed the coal train would be sitting a bit. It was getting toward twilight, and I had dinner waiting, so time to head home. Still, three trains in a short afternoon chase aint too shabby. |
