Red raider
Title:  Red raider
Description:  Todays surprise was a southbound H train coming in to meet the northbound counterpart at Siloam. I had caught the northbound coming into town, and he was stopped in the siding. I ran up to Davidson Rd to catch this train, and got a surprise. CP power is not uncommon on the KCS, though it almost always is seen on unit oil trains headed for the Gulf Coast. Catching it leading the H train was unusual.

Giving them a push
Title:  Giving them a push
Description:  This M train was not especially heavy, only 56 cars when it went past me at Siloam. He may have picked up cars at Watts(likely) and possibly Sallisaw, but with 5 units up front, the DPU was just along for the ride.
