Hay!!

Description:  Id gone out to put air in the tires on my wifes 2001 Stratus R/T(the five speed) and went up to Davidson Rd to check the signal.

It was; the 181 was rolling north toward me behind the now common mix of CP and KCS power, seen across a field of hay bales.

It started with a horn to the south.
Title:  It started with a horn to the south.
Description:  I was out working in the yard and heard a horn, which I determined was a northbound from the grind of the power coming up the hill from Watts. As I got into town, I could see a southbound in the siding. Ah, now, choices. I shot the northbound behind a pair of CP units, a relatively short train of 236 axles according to the detector at Davidson Rd. I quickly weighed my options, then heard KCS 4824 call the signal at South Siloam Springs. Belle in the lead, southbound. Easy choice!!

Right moment
Title:  Right moment
Description:  Were headed to Georgia in a few days for a wedding, so it was time to prep the RV for the trip. One of the things to be done is sanitize the water system, which involves a bleach mixture that is run through the system, then flushed. I take the RV out for a 30 minute or so ride around town to get the bleach in all the nooks and crannies. While I was out, this northbound H train showed up with 114 cars. I caught him at Davidson Rd under some towering clouds.
