Wet day at Dalby
Title:  Wet day at Dalby
Description:  My friend and fellow RRPA contributor David Sommer was in town for a visit on his way to the west coast, and was hoping for some good KCS photos. The prize was a southbound road train with a KCS leader in good sun. So of course, it rained most of the first day he was here, and we saw only this northbound. An 89 car H train rolls past the signal at the south end of Dalby.

On the crossing
Title:  On the crossing
Description:  The northbound rolls across Davidson Rd, its five units stretched beyond. I used to think when I saw a train with a lot of power, how cool!! Now, I often wish they had only two or three units-something AC power has made possible-since any more than that often becomes a challenge to frame if you dont have a wide open shot, and you don't get any of the train-this one was 103 cars-in the shot, unless you have a wide open scene, such as near Westville. This guy would get stuck in Gentry, as a southbound worked George's mill north of Decatur, then be held for the Holiday train. It would be well after dark by the time he got moving again. This is why trains outlaw after going only a short distance.

Taking the siding
Title:  Taking the siding
Description:  When I was heading back to the house before coming out on this chase, there was a northbound heading past Lake Frances Rd. I expected it would take the siding, but was surprised to find it was holding the main, and the southbound would take the siding here, a 15 MPH move. Its doing that now, and the northbound will roll up shortly.

Description:  The southbound rolls past farm fields as it makes its way south into gathering gloom. Sometimes, even though the "chase is on," it doesn't get very far.

More pastoral panorama
Title:  More pastoral panorama
Description:  Not as dramatic as the previous shot, but still pretty. The power set on this train is unusual in that it has three KCS units, and only one BNSF, with one BNSF on the rear. They must have pulled a BNSF unit somewhere, as these trains usually arrive from BNSF in a 2x1 configuration, with KCS adding a pair of diesels for the trip south.

Right moment
Title:  Right moment
Description:  Sometimes the railfan gods smile on you, and youre just in the right place at the right time. I was on my way home from local grocery Harps, when I saw the signal was lit for a southbound at CP South Siloam Springs as I crossed the tracks at Kenwood St. I quickly looped around and set up on the US 412 overpass, just in time to catch this southbound M train coming into view.

Meet at the signal
Title:  Meet at the signal
Description:  The southbound graintrains DPU rolls away as the H train slowly rolls to the signal, anticipating it will clear, allowing him to head north, his seven units more than up to the task of getting 95 cars over tie road. This is the third train I saw today.

Northbound start
Title:  Northbound start
Description:  Sometimes what I expect will be a chase in one direction, turns out to be the opposite. I was coming back from picking up pool chemicals, and heard a horn. I gave chase, beating this empty crude oil train to Gentry. When I got there, I noticed the switch lined for the siding. Looks like a meet is imminent. The oil train, five units up front, has pulled partly into the siding as it waits for what will be a southbound oil train.
