Rolling north at the end of town
Title:  Rolling north at the end of town
Description:  I heard a horn while doing some work around the house, and took off. My quarry turned out to be this northbound empty grain train led by a KCSM GE, seen approaching Davidson Rd

Passing the automatic

Dark side
Title:  Dark side
Description:  Normally I shoot this from the lit side, which has a good view in a tele shot of the train streteched out into the next curve south of town. This time I decided to go for the nose lit, but dark side of the train. It would be more effective if there wasnt so much clutter, as I could work the station/museum into the photo without a pole in front of it. This does have the advantage of allowing me a quick getaway, as I dont have to let the whole train pass before resuming the chase, though hed meet a southbound at Dorsey, just to the north, and Id get him anyway.

Title:  Out of the meet
Description:  The grain train has met a southbound Texas Gulf Utilities train at Dorsey, and is now rolling north along Wolf Creek, and is into the climb to Gravette. Ill hustle out of here to catch the coal train, which will happen just south of Decatur.

Caught him
Title:  Caught him
Description:  By the time I waited for the UP train to reach the Illinois River bridge, got turned around and rolling, the grain train was well on his way. I was able to catch the head end again just south of Baron. Normally I do a tele shot here, but I didnt beat him by enough to get it.

By the station
Title:  By the station
Description:  The goal was to get the train rolling past the station at Stilwell. I achieved that, but a little to late in the day for a well lit photo here. Need to be here by about 1600 this time of year to get it nicely lit.

First inkling
Title:  First inkling
Description:  I was on my way to Stilwell, so decided to take US 59 south from Siloam Springs. When I got to Watts, there was a northbound with four UP units coming up the siding. I shot him at Watts, then went to the bridge, anticipating a meet, since the UP train had rolled on to the north end of the siding. I wasnt there three minutes when this southbound grain train came into view. I got it in the sun, too, something of a suprise, since there was a lot of in and out with the cloud cover. I didnt get so lucky with the UP power, though-got dinked on that one.

View from the bridge
Title:  View from the bridge
Description:  I was coming back from somewhere in town, and as I approached the KCS overpass on US 412, I could see grain hoppers rolling underneath. I didnt have time to chase, so didnt get a shot of the head end, but I did get the DPU as it came out from under, now holding back the train as it rolled downhill toward Watts.

Out of the shadows
Title:  Out of the shadows
Description:  The great thing about the short days of fall and winter is the low light, which saturates the colors. The down side is, a lot of shadows you dont get the rest of the year. Southbound Q KCNL rolls out of the trees at a county road crossing that would be fully lit in the summer

Big tree
Title:  Big tree
Description:  I had started out from home when I heard a northbound going into town. I was far enough behind the empty grain train that I did not catch it until Gentry, and I was still halfway back in the train. Holding there was a southbound Q train, which I decided to follow. I caught him at Davidson Rd, passing one of my favorite photo props with 85 freight, 13 articulated auto racks, and 8 stack platforms.

Splitsville
Title:  Splitsville
Description:  I had taken the RV out to slosh the water tank-Id put a bleach solution in to sanitize, and I like to get it all around the clean water tank, so drive around for 30 minutes or so for a good splash-and wound up in Gentry. As I crossed the tracks on the Ark 12 overpass, I saw the signal was green on the main. I couldnt stop on the bridge, so I took a position on Collins St at the crossing, catching this 95 car southbound grain move splitting the signals at the south end of town.

Between the boards
Title:  Between the boards
Description:  I heard a southbound coming, so ran down to Westville OK to head him off. My typical approach is, if I don't see the train is imminent, to work north along US 59, since sometimes it's a manifest working at Watts, or is holding for a meet there. Today turned out to be both. The southbound M train sits at the south end of Watts, framed by the northbound home signals. Its waiting for a northbound empty coal train before resuming his pick up here.

Going north
Title:  Going north
Description:  We chased the coal train down into Gentry, only to be stymied by 5 PM traffic. As I looked in hopes of catching a glimpse of the DPU on the coal train, and noticed there was a northbound in the siding. I ran up to Y City Road in hopes there would be enough sun to get a passable shot. It was hit and miss, but it sorta worked, with three units on this northbound 49 car M SHKC.

Coming back from dinner
Title:  Coming back from dinner
Description:  We had just left Callahans in Siloam when we heard a horn. A quick turn revealed a southbound approaching. I wasnt fast enough to get this 262 off the US 412 overpass, but did get it at Lake Frances Rd with a KCSM leader. Behind him was 59 freight a mid train DPU, and ten auto racks.

Later that day
Title:  Later that day
Description:  After a Subway meatball marinara, I heard a horn, announcing a northbound. I went up into town, getting ahead of the train as it approached Lincoln Av on the siding. Must be a meet. Well, there was to be one, but the southbound particiipant wasnt making good progress, so the meet was moved to Gentry. Here we see the northbound waiting in the siding while the dispatcher decides what to do.
