Surprise |
| Description: |
In todays day and age, power runs through from all over, though occasionally you see something you would not expect. The trailing unit on the empty coal train is a CN GE, ironic given that the KCS will soon be in the CP fold. |

Rolling to a meet |
| Description: |
The northbound Q train is holding the main as the grain train slowly rolls down the siding, its headlight reflecting off the Q trains tank cars. Once in the clear, the Q train will start north. The grain train will hold here for a second northbound, which I could hear blowing for a crossing just to the south. |

The grain train has dimmed his headlight now that hes stopped. Hell watch the rest of the Q train depart, then wait for the next northbound, which we can already hear apporaching. |

Caught up, the chase is on |
| Description: |
I heard this southbound from the house, and took off, running down Ark 59 and US 62 into Westville. I got to the crossing there just in time to see the headlights approaching through town. I dumped the car in the lot on the west side of the tracks, and was able to get this wedge shot of a 100 car southbound grain train, with a northern visitor. Someone must have gotten their Canadian roads mixed up, so we have a CN unit instead of CP trailing. Didnt get the memo, I guess. |
