Local going away
Title:  Local going away
Description:  I had followed the southbound H train to Watts, and it was working the yard while the dodger got his train together. When he was ready, off he went. I was not in position to get him passing the DPU on the road train, but was able to get this shot from adjacent US 59 of the train and all five cars rolling north. Its a matter of seconds!!

Not quite
Title:  Not quite
Description:  I caught the head end of the 261 train, now a little less backlit, since the sun had come around some since I left to follow the 262 south. He has the ditch lights on, but was backing up when I left. Wish Id given him five more minutes; he left shortly after this, and would have made for a nice shot on the Illinois River a mile to the north.

Surprise
Title:  Surprise
Description:  I took off south, to find the 262 train had arrived at Watts, and was holding the main. As I drove into town, I heard the detector at MP 238 go off. Crap, hell probably be here before I can catch him in good light. I was right, The head end was already coming up the siding, it was the 261 train, coming in with 80 cars, blocked by its southbound counterpart. Not that it mattered; the angle I had was the "dark" side for both trains. My only hope was the northbound would pull up past the end of the southbound, and I could get him north of the yard office. I lucked out on that one, getting the power just as it peeked out behind the 262, but its ridiculously backlit. Oh well....five minutes faster, Id have had a nicely lit shot near MP 237, south of the yard.

Local grab
Title:  Local grab
Description:  I had just finished up at the recycle bins when the dodger came up to Lincoln Av. I was able to beat him to Cheri Whitlock Dr for a quick shot from the car. This will look entirely different when the new overpass is done, and I can get some elevation. The plot in the foreground is usually planted with sunflowers by the adjacent home owner, so that will make for a good photo.

Around the curve
Title:  Around the curve
Description:  The M train has picked up 24 cars along with the dodger power, and pulls around the curve toward MP 237 to clear the interlocking at South Watts to get back to his train. The late afternoon sun glints off the four axle power KCS uses on locals. Theyve acquired quite a few GEs as road power in the last 20 years. As I look at the GPs used for locals, I have to wonder what a KCS four motor GE might look like, a B 23-7, say.

Pulling down for a meet
Title:  Pulling down for a meet
Description:  Though theres already one going on here. I had seen the southbound grain train after I had dropped off recycling in Siloam, and decided to take chase. I caught up to him here in Watts, where he was holding the main for an impending northbound, but also because the dodger, L 102, was working the yard, using the siding for head room.

Dodger in the pink
Title:  Dodger in the pink
Description:  I heard the radio say the dodger was going to Gentry to change ends, so I waited, figuring I could at least see it, if not get a photo. There was still enough light in the sky to work a silhouette. To my great delight, the sky had picked up a swath of pink from the now departed sun hitting a cloud, giving this unusual scene. Three units have 11 cars in tow.

Getting harder to find
Title:  Getting harder to find
Description:  The dodger, L 102, rolls south behind a gray GP 38. Once a common scheme, now it seems almost all the four motor power has been repainted into the Belle scheme. It used to be I would look for a Belle unit leading. Now, the rarity is one in the old scheme. Southbound going under US 412 with 15 cars.

Description:  For the almost year and a half since the CP-KCS merger, the dodger power has been unchanged, using the same pool of GPs in has for the last several years. That changed recently when a CP GP 20ECO showed up, here leading as the Watts based dodger works at Pipelife in Sioam Springs.
