Southbound gray
Title:  Southbound gray
Description:  Before too much longer, most trains would have Belles leading. Now, its not that common to see a gray unit, leading or otherwise. Back then, I wbs thrilled to get a Belle. Looking back now, Im glad I caught the grays. This one has 73 cars of grain rolling south at Baron.

Fields of gold
Title:  Fields of gold
Description:  At the yime of year where the sun is low, and the fields have all gone brown, the late day sun really turns everything gold, a wonderful mellow color that is just golden. A scene like this always brings to mind Stings song Fields of Gold. The only way to improve on!that image is to put a train in it, which KCS was kind enough to do, with this 104 car H train behind three Belles. We see the train at the Goodman detector.

Its all a blur
Title:  Its all a blur
Description:  Not that the train is going that fast, its just the sun is gone and the remaining light is going. The H train passes the sign at Lanagan. At least we know where we are.
