Dark side |
| Description: |
The dodger rolls south at Tahlequah St in Siloam Springs, where I'wasnt fast enough to the crossing. The opposite side lighting does make for an interesting image with the ends of the diesels standing out from the rest of the train. |

Bearing down |
| Description: |
The local is now passing the home signal at CP North Watts. It will take the main south past CP South Watts, since there is a northbound empty grain train waiting on a crew in the siding. Hell work the south end, putting away the 36 cars collected during the days work. The grain train wont get out before I give up on it about two hours hence. |

Long approach |

The dodger, L 102, is just coming off the Illinois River as it heads toward the yard at Watts. The 93 degrees make for quite a bit of heat distortion at this distance. |

Busy, busy |
| Description: |
Watts is sometimes a busy place. We see the dodger, L 102, at right, working the yard. What would usually be his third unit is peeking out from behind the relay case at right. At left is the southbound H train, holding the main as he waits his turn at the yard. Behind the dodger is the tail end of the northbound grain train, whose crew now cant get on because the H train is blocking the power. It was a mess. |

Belle cab |
| Description: |
Most of the power I see these days on the locals has been repainted-often its a solid set of Belles, occasionally two out of three units. This is the close up of the cab of one of them while it was working at Pipelife. |

This is what I get.... |
| Description: |
For not getting out of the car. I pulled up on adjacent US 59 to get a shot, stopping in the traffic lane for this view of a southbound grain train, and the power for Mondays dodger. Took the shot through the windshield, which might explain the fuzziness!! |
