All the way to Mexico |
| Description: |
I was out of position, then got stabbed by slowpokes, so missed the front end of this train, but I did get the DPU of the southbound grain train. It was a pair of SD 70ACe, one of them a KCSM unit. Once he passes, the coal train will pull north. |

There was an issue with a coal train at Watts, so the dispatcher told the Q train to hold back short oif Siloam, and wait for instructions. There was already a northbound at Watts with the coal train, and hed meet the Q train at Siloam. |

All quiet |
| Description: |
The Q train has dimmed his headlights and is settled in for a wait while the southbound grain train I saw earlier resolves a problem with one of the units on his DPU, which will involve swapping it with a northbound empty coal train at Watts. The Q train will meed the coal train at Siloam, but not til after dark. So its back home for me. |

Oldest and newest |
| Description: |
The southbound I was waiting for turned out to be the Q KCSH, led by a relatively new ET44AH, which I caught passing the displayed F 7 at the station. |

DPUs too |
| Description: |
After I shot the head end at the station, I went up to the US 59 overpass just to the south. The shot is not as open as I remember it, but now that Ive lived here 15 years, Im finding that there are a lot of places that were good shots, that are now overgrown, especially in late summer. I still managed a shot of the DPU going away, an unusual mix of power. |

Going for breakfastA |
| Description: |
I had ordered a couple of bagels, and was on the way to pick them up, when this southbound showed up as I was coming up Lincoln Av. Dismal skies, of course, but I took the shot anyway. Sorta OK. |
