Beach day |
| Description: |
The empty grain train rolls over the Elk River at Ginger Blue, a group of kids enjoying the high 70 degree day watching the 100 cars roll overhead. This was a one way chase, as there was nothing to meet at McElhany, near Neosho. So it goes. |

Just south of town |

The empty grain train rolls through the south side of Gravette, a challenging town to shoot a northbound train in most of the day. |

Flowers too |
| Description: |
The rocks along the line can be a great photo prop, but the delicate and colorful nature of flowers is also appealing. The grain train rolls past some rocks and flowers as it heads north in this wide angle view. The cliff above the trailing units is better seen in a southbound view about 1/2 mile south. The exposed rock makes a dramatic backdrop and was used by KCS for publicity photos. |

Big rocks |
| Description: |
The line in this part of Missouri follows Butler Creek up to Noel, where it reaches the Elk River. Over the millions of years it has taken for the valleys to form, many rocks have fallen from the cliffsides, among them some very large ones. The empty grain train passes on of them just south of Noel. |

Nose to nose |
| Description: |
I got scooped by the poles in this one, but I had no control over where the actual meet would occur, though the 4821 wasnt moving. Parking is an issue, as there is no paved shoulder here, you have to climb the curb into the grass. Anyway, in one of those "Close but no cigar" shots, as in TRP, the 181 on the right, passes the 262, on the left, and a couple of lineside poles. |

And were off |
| Description: |
The 181 cleared the south end of Watts, and the 262 got underway, seen here getting a roll on as it comes around the corner at MP 237. I figured I could chase him to Westville, seven miles south, then get back for the coal train, which still had to move into the siding at 15 MPH, then get to the south end, and back onto the main at 15 MPH. That proved to be a viable approach, and I was able to get some shots of the 262, which has an attractive power set. |

Getting grown over |
| Description: |
Its been almost ten years since ODOT widened US 59 here to four lanes. As part of that project, there was a lot of brush clearing. Now, a bit of it has grown back in, and its beginning to obscure what for a few years was a clear shot of a nice S curve. The 262 rolls through, the power now partly hidden. |

262 redux |
| Description: |
The 262 I saw on the way to breakfast got to Watts and then canned. It later got a recrew, and rolled on south, ahead of a coal train. Here it is seen from the US 59 shoulder as it approaches Westville. Interestingly, the DPU on this train was consecutive to the trailing unit, CP 8612. Go figure. |

Taking the siding |
| Description: |
We were headed up to Gentry for breakfast. When we got to the Lincoln St crossing, there was a southbound approaching, which turned out to be the 262 train, here taking the siding for a northbound that we didnt wait for, The tele view brings in the Cobb mill, a mile or so to the north, just beyond Country Club Rd. This would not be the only encounter with this train today. |

| Title: |
Coal on the water |
| Description: |
We had come down from Gentry, crossing the tracks at Davidson Rd. The signal there showed approach, indicating a southbound on the way. I dropped my wife off at home, and beat it for Watts, getting there just as the dodger was arriving at the north end of the yard. I went to the south end, hoping to catch him working there, where the light would come around for a lit shot. As I reached the south end, here comes this northbound empty AEPX train around the curve. I flipped a U turn and gavew chase, getting ahead of him for this shot on the Illinois River. |

The next chance I got was up at Wolf Creek, just north of Dorsey siding, where the tracks run alongside Wolf Creek. |

The train is stretched out, its 125 cars rolling along Butler Creek, which can be seen at far right flowing under the low water crossing. |
