Anticipation  Contributor's Pick!       
I heard a northbound working up the hill from Watts, but had to finish a chore. When I got done, I took off, thinking Id have a little time, since the grade usually slows the trains down. The complication is, theyre working on the Ark 264/Lincoln Av overpass at US 412. Its down to one lane, with a traffic light to alternate the traffic. While Im waiting for the light, the train shows. Now Im playing catch up. I went to Decatur, since Gentry has a sketchy sun angle for northbounds, and set up. The southbound automatic is red, indicating a northbound in the picture. Hell be here shortly. The two head signal northbound is the distant signal for CP South Dorsey. The station, now a museum, is at left. On the south end of the museum is caboose 385 and F 7 73D
