| Title: |
Mexico both ways |
| Description: |
This northbound H train is leaving the siding at Siloam after meeting the southbound H train. His leader was a KCSM unit, and so is the trailing power, which looks freshly painted. I would go to Gentry to get the shot of the train from the Ark 12 overpass, but he stopped at Flint Creek to pick up three units off a coal train that had pulled in there. An hour later he was still sitting on the main at the power plant. I never did get the shot off the bridge. Such is life chasing trains. |

Mexican leader |
| Description: |
This northbound H train had a KCSM unit leading. The trailing unit was also KCSM, both in Belle paint. Have not seen that very often. |

One on one |
| Description: |
There was a single unit leader on this southbound H train, and a single unit DPU as well. This was something of a surprise, since the train was around 120 cars on a challenging subdivision. Ah, the wonder of AC power!! |

The meet |
| Description: |
The lite power move meets the coal train as the conductor rolls the four units by. Now that the lite power is in the clear, the dispatcher will normal the switch, and the coal train will resume his trek south. |

Lite power |
| Description: |
I was hoping for a full sized freight here, but instead was treated to four units of a lite power move. Too bad, this is a nice spot to catch a long train. The light was starting to go anyway... |
