Roadside meet
Title:  Roadside meet
Description:  I was good at finding roads that followed the tracks; sometimes it paid off. One such was MO 171 north of Joplin, which followed the KCS for a short distance between there and the Kansas line. There was a siding there, at which I caught a meet of a southbound intermodal and an empty coal train.
