Morning view |
| Description: |
I dont get out in the morning much-just not my time of day-but I was out this day and caught a southbound 47 car H train a few miles north of Westville, near a location the railroad calls Hudson. Three local units are behind the road power, en route to Heavener for servicing. Its a nice view, better than the west side of the tracks. Have to do this more. |

Climbing into town |
| Description: |
The southbound H train has come around the curve at the north end of Stilwell, and is now climbing the short grade to the north end of the siding. Its not too much of a struggle with todays short 47 car train. The three trailing units are en route to Heavener for servicing, and are not on line. |

Two Siloam images |
| Description: |
The dodgers power poses on the Kenwood St crossing in front of the Sager Creek Vegetable Co warehouse. Dont recongnize that name?? They used to be Allen Canning, which was bought out of bankruptcy by an investment group about two years prior. |

Backing onto the train |

The dodger that originates in Watts has just set off a cut of gons onto the siding at Siloam Springs, and is now backing onto his train. Once coupled up, hell back down to work Pipelife for a while, before heading up to Decatur. |

Another day, another local |
| Description: |
Actually, the same local, just in a different location. I caught todays dodger out of Watts at Davidson Rd north of Siloam in a spring like setting with the same power as yesterdays train. The power will be switched out over the weekend, when it goes to Heavener for servicing. |
