On the bridge
Title:  On the bridge
Description:  One bridge you dont see often is this one over Baron Creek in Baron Okla, perhaps because the sun angle us not good for a shot from the US 59 bridge til very late in the day, and a morning shot is a walk in. Here we see a southbound approaching the truss span as it crosses a mostly empty creek bed.

Snaking through the snow
Title:  Snaking through the snow
Description:  A good photo location is alongside Ark 59, just north of where it passes under Ark 102. Theres a nice long S curve there thats reasonably open, and makes a good morning shot. I was able to catch this southbound grain train a bit later in the day, the light working due to the overcast. The snow helped, and this shot made a good Christmas card.

Belles in the snow
Title:  Belles in the snow
Description:  We were out on this snowy day chasing-which we did in NY all the time, since it snowed A LOT there, so no big deal to go out in the little bit of snow we get in Arkansas. One of the prizes that day was this southbound we caught near Sulphur Springs behind a pair of new Belles, which was a big deal at the time.
