Mexico both ways
Title:  Mexico both ways
Description:  This northbound H train is leaving the siding at Siloam after meeting the southbound H train. His leader was a KCSM unit, and so is the trailing power, which looks freshly painted. I would go to Gentry to get the shot of the train from the Ark 12 overpass, but he stopped at Flint Creek to pick up three units off a coal train that had pulled in there. An hour later he was still sitting on the main at the power plant. I never did get the shot off the bridge. Such is life chasing trains.

Description:  Sometimes you win the light race. Today, I was able to get this northbound M train just as the light was dropping, catching the golden glow.

Next life
Title:  Next life
Description:  CSX had a bunch of these AC44CWs come off lease, and they are now part of the Precision Leasing fleet. There have been quite a few on the KCS lately. Seems like every train has one.
