Last chance
Title:  Last chance
Description:  I had followed the northbound Q train from Cave Springs, getting a somewhat lit shot of it at Stilwell, and hoped to get some sun on it here, hoping the sun would still be high enough to get a little light. It wasnt to be, but there was still enough light to get a shot. By the time I got to Westville, there wasnt enough light left for a good photo, so this was as far as the "and back" went today.

Just barely
Title:  Just barely
Description:  The sun had been in and out most of the afternoon, with large cloud banks moving past, though some were thin enough to let some light through. They lightened up enouigh here to get a decently lit shot of the northbound Q train just north of the Stilwell station. Today's effort has 9 articulated auto racks behind the power, 17 conventional auto racks and 19 stack platforms with mostly JB Hunt boxes back in the train, and 78 freight to round out a 508 axle consist.

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.

Surprise
Title:  Surprise

I was getting set up for the southbound I knew about, when I heard a train call the signal for Westville. Turned out to be the 181. The southbound was at Watts, waiting on this guy, who is now passing me going north, with a pair of KCSM GE"s leading 64 stack platforms, 6 autos and 27 articulated auto racks.

On the Illinois

Grab from the car
Title:  Grab from the car
Description:  I was on my way to Stilwell on a non rail related effort, so was not planning to chase anything. As we rolled south of Watts on US 59, of course a train shows up. I grabbed this shot from the center turn lane(why they have one here, I dont know. Theres no way there will ever be a need for it) of a northbound empty oil train behind a real North American consist.

Short trip, long wait
Title:  Short trip, long wait
Description:  I heard a horn as we came back from lunch, and took off into town, expecting to chase a northbound. That guess was correct; what I didnt know was there was a southbound coal train holding the main. By the time I got it together, I had missed both trains at Siloam. I didnt want to be out too long, so went to Gentry to get the northbound. I got ahead, and climbed the embankment to the Ark 12 overpass, and waited...and waited...and waited. I figure either he was holding south of town to meet a southbound-KCS does this so not to block crossings-or he was picking up DPUs from the Flint Creek Spur. I was about to give up on the effort after about 30 minutes in 95 degrees, when I heard a horn to the south, and shortly after saw a column of smoke as the train pulled away from the spur, about a mile to the south. Here he is, four original units, and three picked up off the spur, with 115 empty oil cans.

I was right after all
Title:  I was right after all
Description:  I had thought they might be holding back on a meet as one option for the long delay of the northbound oil trains arrival. Turned out I was right on that count as well. A southbound, possibly 262?? rolls down the siding as the oil train runs north on the main.

Knocked down
Title:  Knocked down
Description:  The H train has passed the signal, now red over red as he takes the siding. I quit the chase here-the light was going, and I had to get home-but at least with the end of February, the light stays longer, and I get more of the "back" part of the chase in before its too dark to shoot pictures.

Returning north
Title:  Returning north
Description:  I had hoped to chase the oil train down to Bunch, there are a couple of shots I want to do there, but the sun was now getting low, and I had a northbound to head home with, so I turned my attention to the H train, which we see here on the bridge over Baron Fork Creek, just barely catching the sun.

Dinner
Title:  Dinner
Description:  The H train passes the pasture in Westville, the cows indifferent to the disruption in the peace and quite of a Tuesday evening. Perhaps they are thinking of their future as someones dinner??
