Ballard Creek
Title:  Ballard Creek
Description:  The H train was pulling from the siding, so had a 15 MPH speed restriction through the interlocking. That makes it easy for me to get ahead. This shot is now viable since ODOT is working on widening US 59 through Watts and has cut most of the trees. The bridge crosses Ballard Creek south of Watts.

Til the cows come home
Title:  Til the cows come home
Description:  The H train rolls past a cow pasture and creek north of Stilwell. The trees have been creeping up on this shot; only a few years ago it was much more open, and a good part of the train could be seen. Now youre lucky to get a clean shot of the power, and wont if its more than three engines.

High above
Title:  High above
Description:  After pulling from the siding, making for a slow start, there is a 30 MPH curve at Chewie Rd that also keeps a train from getting up to speed. The result is, I have enough time to climb the hill along US 59, another vantage point opened up when the road was widened to 4 lanes a couple of years ago. This is the H train seen from the top of the bluff.

Shot from the car window. That works!!

Lite power going away
Title:  Lite power going away
Description:  Because the heavy trains tend to run south, more power winds up in Heavener than is needed for northbound trains. Thus, sometimes a lite power move is done to get all those DPUs back to Pittsburg for another push over the grades on the subdivision. This is one such move, seen going away as it approaches Watts.

Beach day
Title:  Beach day
Description:  The empty grain train rolls over the Elk River at Ginger Blue, a group of kids enjoying the high 70 degree day watching the 100 cars roll overhead. This was a one way chase, as there was nothing to meet at McElhany, near Neosho. So it goes.

Flowers too
Title:  Flowers too
Description:  The rocks along the line can be a great photo prop, but the delicate and colorful nature of flowers is also appealing. The grain train rolls past some rocks and flowers as it heads north in this wide angle view. The cliff above the trailing units is better seen in a southbound view about 1/2 mile south. The exposed rock makes a dramatic backdrop and was used by KCS for publicity photos.

Big rocks
Title:  Big rocks
Description:  The line in this part of Missouri follows Butler Creek up to Noel, where it reaches the Elk River. Over the millions of years it has taken for the valleys to form, many rocks have fallen from the cliffsides, among them some very large ones. The empty grain train passes on of them just south of Noel.
