Wanted this shot for a long time |
| Description: |
The next sequence is the coal train coming into Siloam Springs from the south. Its not an easy shot to get, as the lighting is good only about four months of the year, and you have to be on the US 412 overpass to get it. You also have to beat a northbound up from Watts if youre chasing, which means if you dont make all the lights in Siloam Springs, you might not beat it here. I did this day, with good results. Hes just about to cross Lake Frances Rd. |

Going under |
| Description: |
The coal train is about to pass under my position on the US 412 overpass. It was an easy shot; I took the photo through the open passenger side window. The cars at left are plastic pellets for Pipelife Jetstream. |

And away we go |
| Description: |
The show is over, at least for me. Time to head home for dinner, now that its past 1800. The DPU on the coal train pulls away past the water tower. Hell meet another one at Gentry. |
