Mostly dry now |
| Description: |
A week ago, this was a raging torrent due to the almost ten inches of rain that fell between Friday night and Sunday. The creek bed has been washed over, but the bridge remains as steady as it has always been, the six units and 114 cars of the H train rolling across at speed. |

Leaning to the curve |
| Description: |
The best spot cleared of foliage by the US 59 project is here at Chewie Rd, where there is a fairly tight S curve. The southbound H train rolls into it, seen from the shoulder of the US 59 southbound side. |

A wider view of the H train making its pick up shows the whole power consist, including the three GP 40s from the dodger. Two of the local units are in the Belle scheme, making an impressive looking set of power. |

Working Pipelife |
| Description: |
I came upon the Watts based dodger that works north catching it at Kenwood St as it worked the Pipelife Jetstream plant in Siloam, the power having just backed down past the crossing as it shoved plastic pellets into the plant. |

Pushing back, and a former customer |
| Description: |
The dodger power pushes covered hoppers full of plastic pellets into the Pipelife plant, past the now cut off siding for Allens Canning, the one time packers of Popeye spinach, which was once canned here, along with a variety of other vegetables. The brand survives, though Allens is no longer a going concern. The warehouse here is now owned by Pro Pak, and truck served. |
