Rolling to a meet |
| Description: |
The northbound Q train is holding the main as the grain train slowly rolls down the siding, its headlight reflecting off the Q trains tank cars. Once in the clear, the Q train will start north. The grain train will hold here for a second northbound, which I could hear blowing for a crossing just to the south. |

Rolling them by |
| Description: |
The conductor of the southbound is out on the front of the power, rolling what remains of the Q train by as it slowly starts north. The grain train will be here for a second northbound. I chased the Q train, as the light was going. I never did see the second northbound train. |

The wait begins |
| Description: |
The grain train has dimmed his headlight now that hes stopped. Hell watch the rest of the Q train depart, then wait for the next northbound, which we can already hear apporaching. |

Caught up, the chase is on |
| Description: |
I heard this southbound from the house, and took off, running down Ark 59 and US 62 into Westville. I got to the crossing there just in time to see the headlights approaching through town. I dumped the car in the lot on the west side of the tracks, and was able to get this wedge shot of a 100 car southbound grain train, with a northern visitor. Someone must have gotten their Canadian roads mixed up, so we have a CN unit instead of CP trailing. Didnt get the memo, I guess. |

Two miles up |

AFter shooting the M train at signal 252, I got ahead of him at "downtown" Baron, two miles to the north. Here he is passing the automatic at 250, crossing CR E 754. |

Almost dark |
| Description: |
Im going to have to start calling these sequences "Out and Almost Back" since if I start late enough in the day, I cant get all the way back to Siloam before it gets dark. Oh, for the long days of summer!! Northbound M train rolling through the twilight north of Westville, the running lights giving away the train as it makes its way into night. |

Rolling past |
| Description: |
After getting the shot of the leader going past the signals, I ran to get it meeting the power on the Q train. He was a bit faster than me, and I didnt get the power passing power shot I wanted. This is still a pretty good action shot, though, of the Q train conductor giving the northbound a roll by. |

Big tree |
| Description: |
I had gone out to get and oil change and a car wash on the RAV4, and decided, since there was still a little light left at 1730, to check the signals in town. Lo and behold, the automatic at Davidson Rd is high green!! I pulled off and waited, to be rewarded three minutes later by a southbound TXUX train, rolling past my favorite tree, dragging 125 cars uphill from Sleepy Hollow |

Beat him |
| Description: |
The trains at Davidson Rd are pulling a pretty stiff grade, and once I get the shot there, if I hustle, I can beat him to Country Club Rd for this shot of the train rolling past the Cobb feed mill. If I get a good enough lead, I can beat him to Tahlequah St, where the signals are for CP North Siloam Springs. |
