Right moment |
| Description: |
I was out scouting the stops for the upcoming UP 4014 tour, and had just pulled up at the tracks in Ft Gibson when this train was approaching. Didnt have time to find a full sun spot, so had to make do with some shadow. Still, sweet light. |

Rolling through |
| Description: |
This curve was opened up when ODOT widened US 59 a few years back, and is now starting to get overgrown again. It still makes a good shot for this southbound AEPX coal train behind a pair of not so clean UP units. |

Eastbound |
| Description: |
When I got down to Vaughn, there were two trains facing off, one eastbound, one west. This is the eastbound, led by UP 6335, seen from across the BNSF near their station. The coveted shot here is at the crossing, where BNSF passes over UP. I didnt have time to wait out a meet. Maybe next time. |

Meeting on the fly |
| Description: |
I heard a horn from the house-in Siloam Springs-but was in the middle of something, so could not get out right away. I took off as soon as I could, hoping to catch the southbound. I did, but not til he was coming around the curve into Stilwell. My shot was going to be at the station, so I made a bee line down US 59 through town. On the way, I encountered this northbound empty AEPX train, which I shot through my windshield. Not pretty, but it shows the meeting train. |

Caught him |
| Description: |
We again divert from our usual haunts to chase the Union Pacific, this time on their Kansas Pacific route, from Denver to KC. It was in recent years and coal funnel, with much of the coal comng out of Wyoming headed for Kansas City routed here to take it off the Overland Route in Nebraska. Thats now down significantly, and seeing trains here is a some time thing. During a stay at the KOA in Strasburg, we found the tracks were literally over the fence from the campground. So on Saturday of Labor Day weekend, when a train passed at 1000, I was off. I caught up just outside Byers, starting a run at this eastbound oil train. |

Cottonwood |
| Description: |
The high plains are generally bereft of trees-the Denver area gets only about 14" of rain annually, most places west of the 100th meridian(the OK-TX panhandle border) get less than 20"-so the trees tend to grow where there is underground water, which is more prevalent than youd think. The giveaway to the presence of this water is cottonwood trees, whose roots grow down to access it. They also make for a good photo prop, as we see with the eastbound oil train near Agate |

Elevator |
| Description: |
The one ubiquitous feature of almost all of these high plains towns is the grain elevator, though many of the smaller ones have gone to trucks as the railroads priced them out for lack of volume, or theyve closed entirely. This one here at Deer Trail is still viable, but no longer rail served. The oil train passes on a Saturday morning. |

Despite what many think, the terrain here is not pool table flat, and there is some roll to it-and there is a gentle drop in elevation as the line moves east.. The oil train comes over a rise, and is now headed downhill into Agate. |

Not much happening |
| Description: |
I went to see friends in Belen NM during December 2023, driving out from Arkansas. OF course, I had to stop in Tucumcari, hopefullly to see something passing the ex Rock/SP station there. Unfortunately, not much going on, just a couple of trains canned in the yard, among them this westbound. Id see more later, including a meet between here and Santa Rosa. |

Taking the connection |
| Description: |
Wed gone over to Fort Gibson Dam on Sunday Apr 11, since it was such a nice day, temps in low 80s and sun. On the way back, we went over through Okay, and followed SR 16 into Wagoner. Along the way, we caught this northbound empty San Antonio coal train headed north on the ex MKT. We were able to get ahead of him and set up for this shot of the train taking the connection onto the ex MP here at Wagoner, as almost all northbounds do. |

Southbound on the MKT |
| Description: |
I was heading north on adjacent US 69 when I saw a headlight approaching in the distance. One great thing about a four lane road with a 65 MPH speed is that I can run 72 without worrying about getting ticketed. I chased back south a couple of miles to get this southbound with a lot of yellow up front. |

The head end of the empty coal train rolls around the curve to the signal at CP South Watts, where it will meet the southbound grain train I heard from the house. Had to really run for this one. Sometimes an inspired engineer and a light(relatively speaking) train can be a challenge for the chaser!! |

Fitting end |
| Description: |
The DPU on this train is almost anticlimactic in terms of the excitement of its paint scheme-after all, UP has several thousand of these. But with a red, white and blue engine, painted to show support for our troops leading, its only fitting that the flag bring up the rear. As I write this on July 4, I am mindful of the sacrifices all of our service members make to protect our great nation, especially the behind the scenes troops whose actions are not always visible, but whose efforts make their operations run smoothly. My daugher was on active duty in the Navy for 8 years, doing IT and radio on a guided missile destroyer, down in the bowels of a ship in a carrier group. Not very conspicuous, but critical to the mission. On July 4, as every day, I am grateful to our active duty, reservists, and vets for their service to America. It is fitting that KCS has painted 4006 in their honor. |

Not quite what I was after |
| Description: |
This southbound UP train has a single unit leading as it passes the Choteau elevator. I like lineside structures, and was trying to work a shot with the elevator in it, but didnt have time to change lenses after outrunning the train from Adair. It turned out the elevator was partly blocked by some trees, and I didnt quite pick the right spot either, through this shot is acceptable. Better luck next time. I'll drag my butt out of bed early some morning and go over here to sit til something shows, which usually doesn't take too long. |

Looking down the line |
| Description: |
A parked ethanol train sits outside Waseca, waiting for a crew. In the distance is a typical facility, a grain bin. Now that the fury has died down over ethanol, there remain quite a few plants dedicated to its production in the upper midwest, and the trains serving them are many. |

Ethanol |
| Description: |
Where I live, on the KCS, tank trains are usually oil headed south to Gulf Coast refineries. Up here in corn country, its usually ethanol. There are a lot of plants here. This train that we see in its element was on what was once the C&NW, then became the DM&E, and now CP. Need a scorecard to tell the players!! |
