Passing the elevator
Title:  Passing the elevator
Description:  This old Purina elevator at Choteau made a great backdrop for passing UP 4014, on the Parsons, Kan-McAlester OK leg of its 2021 tour. I need to get over here some morning to shoot freights passing this classic structure.

Roadside view
Title:  Roadside view
Description:  The days activity north of Wagoner was mostly alongside, and visible from, US 69. Aside from the idiot slowpokes who were blocking traffic in the left lane, it was a fairly easy chase. This view is from the shoulder of US 69 near Mazie.

Stopped on the causeway
Title:  Stopped on the causeway
Description:  The ex MKT crossed Eufaula Lake on a long causeway, with spans over the lake channels. The 4014 has stopped just at the entrance to the causeway for reasons unknown to me. Thats not a problem, as it gives me a moment to set up.

Three surprise visitors in the form of UP SD70Ms are the power today in the typical Tier gloom. Someone has entered a request on the nose of the lead unit.

Description:  I went down toward Westville to see if the northbound was near, and found it was. I caught him by Shockeys crossing, near MP 238. Hell meet the grain train at Watts, after the dodger clears up.

Just lucky
Title:  Just lucky
Description:  I was poking around looking for a place to shoot TRE trains, and saw this UP train on the ex MP in Grand Prairie. It appeared to be tied up, and was an easy shot from the next grade crossing. It's strange seeing a CN unit in Texas. I still haven't gotten used to the idea of them running on the IC in Mississippi and Louisiana.
