I heard him coming         
I can often hear trains climbing the hill from Watts. Its easier at night, when theres less ambient noise, but sometimes I can hear them during the day. So it was with this 261, which started out as a distant rumble. I stopped to try to confirm, then I heard him blow for State Line Rd. Off I go!! It took him almost 15 minutes to get to Siloam with a heavy train, but I was at Tahlequah St waiting as he crossed Lincoln, diesel after diesel emerging from behind the large tree next to the road.
