Caught him, but this will be a short chase |
| Description: |
Wed taken a day to go up to Joplin for a couple of things, and just to get out on one of the nicer days weve had after snow and bone chilling cold. On the return, we got off I 49 at the Anderson exit, turning south onto MO 59. As we went under the bridge just south of the ramp, there was a train rolling south. He beat us to Splitlog, but we got ahead at Anderson, and caught him going past the feed mill, dodging the shadows. |

Barely into the light |
| Description: |
The sun was getting low-though there was more daylight than a month ago, this shot would not have been possible-as the southbound grain move rolled into Lanagan. I dont usually get a shot here, as I typically go for the bridge shot at Ginger Blue, but I wasnt sure there would be light there. Were rolling along MO 59 here, past the entrance to Bonebrake Park. |

A little hustle, and some speed restricted running enabled me to get far enough ahead of the train to get the shot on the Elk River bridge. The light this time of year is almost head on, even late in the day. |

DPU |

The DPU on this train mirrored the head end power, as is becoming more and more common on the merged road. A KCS/CP pair brings up the rear over the Elk River. Of note, the KCS unit seems to be in fairly fresh paint. |

It started with a horn in the distance |
| Description: |
I was outside working on some yard task, when I heard a horn off to the south. I took off for town to see what was up. A check of the signal at South Siloam Springs showed a restricting-see the Track and Signals album for that sequence-so a northbound will be taking the siding. By the time I got into position, the train-it was the 181, whose back end we see here-was already too far up for me to get a good shot, and the southbound you see here had passed the detector up at Davidson Rd. I set up on the US 412 bridge, and shot the back end meet. |

Southbound grain close up |
| Description: |
The grain train rolls its 105 cars under the US 412 overpass, and heads down the hill to Watts. Should have let him go, and followed the 181, which had a pair of Belles, the leader a KCSM AC 44 leading, up to Gentry. Youll see why shortly. |

Canned |
| Description: |
The grain train I shot at Siloam made it as far as Watts, where he held the main-for about 45 minutes. He was waiting on an empty northbound coal train. I could have shot the 181 in Gentry and still made it back here for the meet. So it goes , another day of railfanning. |

To the nines. |
| Description: |
I headed down to Westville to see if I could catch the coal train coming north. After a bit of a wait, he showed, a TXUX train with a UP leader, and both units ending in "99". The power on coal trains mixes a lot more lately than it used to; these trains used to get solid BNSF consists, with KCS power added to get them over the hilly Heavener Sub. We see it north of Westville. |

Well, kinda. I was going to get him here, then run to get the train off the US 59 overpass, but the camera wouldnt fire. Turned out I was out of film-Id used up all the images on that SD card.

Caught him |
| Description: |
I was outside working in the yard-the way a lot of these chases start-and heard a horn. Off I went, though not realizing I had a northbound as well, that had met this train at Siloam. He hit the detector north of town as I was getting underway. I ran through town, and beat it down 65 MPH US 59, catching what turned out to be this TXUX train headed for Texas as it passed some otherwise disinterested cattle. |

MP 252 |
| Description: |
The coal train rolls past MP 252, just to the left of the train. I was hoping to find some Branford pear trees, which are in glorious bloom right now, but it seems there are no flowering trees near the tracks. Oh well. |
