Stack DPU |
| Description: |
The mid train DPU on the stack. Its not needed so much here, as the gradient is gentle for the most part, but on the old SP part of the route, west of Tucumcari, the line tops out well over 6000 feet elevation. |

Greeley Sub late in the day |
| Description: |
My wife consults with a couple of doctors at National Jewish Health in Denver, for which we do an annual trip there for follow ups. We stayed in Brighton this trip. As we were coming back from dinner, I had just pulled into the parking lot, and heard a horn-the UP Greeley Sub follows US 85, the main route through town. She bailed, and I gave chase, catching him here, just outside Henderson, in low afternoon light, three units and a good sized train of stacks and TOFC, a vanishing sight these days. |

Waiting.... |
| Description: |
Northbound AEPX empty train waits short of the crossing in Noel. A southbound grain train will be along in about five minutes. Not too bad this time. |

Last light |
| Description: |
As I was heading home from chasing the TXUX train to Noel, I saw this empty AEPX train at Decatur, and thought I could catch him before the light went at Gravette. I did, just barely. |

Roadside |
| Description: |
One of the better places to catch a train when on a chase, and also one of the last places to lose the light in the evening is here along MO 59 just south of Anderson. The northbound H train rolls toward KC with four Belles and a new UP unit. |

Appetizer |
| Description: |
We were headed up to Gentry for an early dinner-a local place there does a crab special on Thursday and Friday-and I was doing my usual run up to Davidson Rd for a signal check and quick run out to Ark 59. As we crossed the tracks south of the Cobb feed mill, three lights came around the corner. I pulled off quickly, and got this 126 car AEPX coal train. |
