Long snake |
| Description: |
We were coming back from Rogers, and saw a northbound grain move at Lake Frances Rd, stretched out to the south, waiting on a meet. I rushed home, dropped my wife off, loaded the recycling, and headed back. By the time I got back to town, the grain train had gone north, and this southbound oil train was in the siding, the head end at Tahlequah St, the train snaked along down past Lincoln. |

Two out of three aint bad |
| Description: |
The oil train was headed south, the lead power under the US 412 overpass, and not photographable, so I did the next best thing, and went to Tahlequah St to get the meet with the impending northbound, which we see approaching here, The grain train, an empty northbound, was just hitting the detector at Davidson Rd, 2 miles to the north, as I pulled up to get the first shot of this series. So I was able to get two of the three trains in this three way meet. |

On the blocks |
| Description: |
Theres usually not enough traffic close together that one train runs on anothers blocks. Today was one of those times, as the coal train was only a few miles behind the grain move. The northbound AEPX train takes an approach at CP North Siloam Springs, the grain move not yet in Gentry. |
