Going away |
| Description: |
No, this is not the head end. This Flint Creek train ran 2x3, so this is the DPU pushing into the power plant spur with this attractive set of units on a gloomy day. This shot would not have been possible on a sunny day, the light would have been all wrong. The Heavener Sub main is to the left. |

Hard curve |
| Description: |
The H train has pulled down for headroom as it works the Watts yard, coming around the hard curve south of South Watts. A tele lens brings in the hillside behind the train, as if to drive home the point that Oklahoma aint all flat. Theres a reason there are DPUs on most trains here. |

Wide view |
| Description: |
The wide view from the closed roadhouse on US 59 reveals this long shot of the H train off the Illinois River bridge, approaching CP North Watts. The KCS has cleared a lot of brush on the bridge approach, making this shot possible. Its a good one. |

Looks like power |
| Description: |
Its a deceptive scene, though. The H train is working its set off and pick up, but the superelevation adds drama to the scene. |
