Swinging through |
| Description: |
I got ahead enough to set up at the S curve near Chewie Rd, shooting across US 59. At that moment, I was really glad ODOT had cleared out the trees when they widened the road. |

Q train surprise |
| Description: |
The dodger got his train put in the yard, and the Q train was having an issue with his lead unit. I went south a half mile or so to get him on the big curve near MP 237. As he came around, the second unit caught my eye: KCS 4006, the Support the Troops engine. |

M train |
| Description: |
We had gone up to drop some stuff off at the kids house in Gentry, and decided to take a ride out through the countryside to check out some places that may have had some changes in the last six months or so. Our wanderings had us rolling across the KCS in Decatur just as a northbound was approaching the crossing there. The shadows prevented a good shot, but I thought if I could beat him to Gravette, there might be a chance before the light went. Its kinda dappled, but I got the northbound M SHKC and 58 cars, as it crossed Dallas St. |
