Oil on the Frisco |
| Description: |
I was on my way to Wichita, and caught this 88 car oil move on the ex Frisco line from Ft Scott to Afton OK. Just dumb luck as I pulled up to a crossing. |

Dimmed |
| Description: |
I heard this train from the house, and beat it down to Westville to get a shot. Normally, at this time of day-6 PM-the sun would be low and golden. This summers western wildfires-there are currently over five million acres burning across the west, mostly in California, Oregon, and Washington-have sent up a pall of smoke that has now reached across the country, dimming the sun, and making for drab photos. Southbound TXUX train passes the edge of the athletic complex. |

Signals |
| Description: |
The coal train passes the new signal at MP 250. Theres even a hint of color to the right of the signal, in what has been a lackluster year for fall foliage. |

Coming on |
| Description: |
A southbound TXUX train approaches a crossing north of Westville as it makes steady southward progress. Looks like it borrowed from the competition to get this train over the road!! |

Lucky catch |
| Description: |
I was taking recyclables up to the transfer station, which means I need to cross the KCS at Lincoln Av. I looked down the track to see a pair of lights. Its Saturday, not likely to be a track car out. A moment later, the top light of the three popped out from under the Cheri Whitlock Dr overpass. I swung around into the empty lot at Tahlequah St for this last light shot of a 125 car TXUX coal train headed for Texas, where they could use the power right now. That white stuff on the ground?? Snow. We had about 10 over the last week, though today the temperature is in the mid 40's, and a lot of it has melted. |
