Caught him, but this will be a short chase
Title:  Caught him, but this will be a short chase
Description:  Wed taken a day to go up to Joplin for a couple of things, and just to get out on one of the nicer days weve had after snow and bone chilling cold. On the return, we got off I 49 at the Anderson exit, turning south onto MO 59. As we went under the bridge just south of the ramp, there was a train rolling south. He beat us to Splitlog, but we got ahead at Anderson, and caught him going past the feed mill, dodging the shadows.

Barely into the light
Title:  Barely into the light
Description:  The sun was getting low-though there was more daylight than a month ago, this shot would not have been possible-as the southbound grain move rolled into Lanagan. I dont usually get a shot here, as I typically go for the bridge shot at Ginger Blue, but I wasnt sure there would be light there. Were rolling along MO 59 here, past the entrance to Bonebrake Park.

On the bridge
Title:  On the bridge
Description:  A little hustle, and some speed restricted running enabled me to get far enough ahead of the train to get the shot on the Elk River bridge. The light this time of year is almost head on, even late in the day.
