Local grab |
| Description: |
I had just finished up at the recycle bins when the dodger came up to Lincoln Av. I was able to beat him to Cheri Whitlock Dr for a quick shot from the car. This will look entirely different when the new overpass is done, and I can get some elevation. The plot in the foreground is usually planted with sunflowers by the adjacent home owner, so that will make for a good photo. |

Working while we wait |
| Description: |
I went up to Neosho to intercept the southbound CP 2816, to find a dodger working at McElhany. Hes done his work here, and is now going to head back to Neosho to clear up. The power has pulled down to the rear of the train so the brakeman can hang the marker on what is now a northbound move. |

The brakema has rejoined the rest of the crew on the power. Theyll head up to the switch, cross over, and back to a hitch, and go north, to the dispastchers delight, since hes getting nervous about them getting in the clear for the steam train. |

Back on, waiting on the signal |

The power is back on the train, and they have called the dispatcher for a signal, telling him the work they had yet to do in Neosho, and about how long it would take, since they needed to clear up for the 2816. |

Rolling by |
| Description: |
The 262 now is about on the crossing at Lake Frances, and we see what is an unusual consist for a road train, a CP GP ECO and a KCD GP 40-3 trailing the leader. Maybe this is local power to be dropped somewhere?? I cant recall the last time I saw four motor power on a road train on the KCS. |
