It starts when I hear a horn |
| Description: |
I was outside working in the yard when I heard a horn, this one coming from a train working up the grade from Watts. I took off, hoping to get a few shots in the fading light. There was enough left to get to Gravette, and it started here at Tahlequah St in Siloam, an ET 44 leading the 54 stack platforms, 10 articulated auto racks, and 7 standard racks of the 181. I was glad to see the ET 44, the second time in a week, since they don't seem to show up here often. |

Follow the flag |
| Description: |
Not the Wabash-though Id love to see that NS heritage unit here-but the American flags that line Gentrys main drag, a nice touch to the passing of the 181 train. |

Y City Rd |
| Description: |
When the day gets late, there are not many places to get good light, and some are already in shadow. I was just beating the sun here at Y City Rd south of Decatur, but had enough to get the power. |
