Theres a big sweeping curve leading into a tangent of a couple miles just north of Bunch. Makes for a good shot, better if the sun is still up!! |

Almost beat |
| Description: |
I took off for Baron, but despite my efforts, and a bit of speed, the train was already blowing for the crossing as I came around the curve to the tracks, I was able to get a grab shot from the car. |

More color here |
| Description: |
The shot at Baron was rather lackluster in terms of color. This one is a little better, but not as much as it was a few days ago. |

Rolling into the shadow |
| Description: |
In this case, its the shadow of the bridge Im standing on, tne US 59 overpass at the south end of town. Were looking at 125 cars of a TXUX coal train headed for Texas. The red of the northbound home signal for CP South Stilwell adds a punch of color to the trees. |

Making the grade |
| Description: |
In one of those lucky moments, I was on my way back to the house after taking recyclables to the dump, going the long way round to see if the signal at South Siloam was lit. It was!! I pulled off, to be rewarded five minutes later with this northbound TXUX empty train. Some days, you just get it right!! |
