Over the crossing |
| Description: |
As with most of these chases, it started with a horn echoing across the land, though the one I heard was from a northbound. I took off, to find that the northbound had already gotten into town, but was meeting a southbound. Decisions, decisions!! The southbound had a KCS unit leading, so off I went: doomed paint scheme, and good light. I caught up to him at Watts, but under a cloud. I finally got this first shot at Chewie Rd as it came through the crossing and S curve there. |

Meeting lite power |
| Description: |
The southbound grain train rolls away from me as it meets the lite power move led by heritage unit CP 7012 in the siding. I had originally thought I'd chase the southbound to Bunch, to get a couple of shots near Cave Springs and Bunch that I've had in mind, but have not caught trains going that way. Then this showed up. Bunch will wait for another day. |

Splitting the signals |
| Description: |
Southbound grain train splits the signals at CP North Stilwell, its train stretched through a sag. Behind me, is a surprise, one that would turn me back north. |

Bucolic scene |
| Description: |
The curve at Chewie Rd is 30 MPH, which allows me to get a good lead, and set up for this shot north or Westville, where our grain train passes a pastoral scene. |
