Caught him |
| Description: |
By the time I waited for the UP train to reach the Illinois River bridge, got turned around and rolling, the grain train was well on his way. I was able to catch the head end again just south of Baron. Normally I do a tele shot here, but I didnt beat him by enough to get it. |

By the station |
| Description: |
The goal was to get the train rolling past the station at Stilwell. I achieved that, but a little to late in the day for a well lit photo here. Need to be here by about 1600 this time of year to get it nicely lit. |

First inkling |
| Description: |
I was on my way to Stilwell, so decided to take US 59 south from Siloam Springs. When I got to Watts, there was a northbound with four UP units coming up the siding. I shot him at Watts, then went to the bridge, anticipating a meet, since the UP train had rolled on to the north end of the siding. I wasnt there three minutes when this southbound grain train came into view. I got it in the sun, too, something of a suprise, since there was a lot of in and out with the cloud cover. I didnt get so lucky with the UP power, though-got dinked on that one. |
