Waiting |
| Description: |
When I got to Watts, there was a grain train in the siding, holding for the 181. I didnt have time to wait for the meet, but did get the waiting southbound. The leader had been on a northbound empty train a week earlier. |

Over the creek |
| Description: |
The 181 rolls across Barren Fork Creek in the late afternoon sun. This was the last shot Id get, as Id promised my wife Id be home for dinner by 1900. A good way to end. Id get a surprise at Watts, but that would be a quick shot and run. |

Didnt quite make it |
| Description: |
I like the shots at Baron, since there is a long tangent approaching from the north, allowing several views here. Sometimes I dont get them all; even with a 65 MPH speed limit on US 59, its two lane, and there are an amazing(to me) number of people who are content to run 50 MPH there. So I dont always get the tele shot. Still, the shot is pretty good there, and I did OK for getting sandbagged by a slowpoke en route. |

First catch |
| Description: |
I heard a southbound from the house, and took off. I cant get through Siloam and still catch one of these trains, so I usually take Ark 59 south and US 62 to Westville, which allows me to get the across the field farm shot most of the time. It worked today, I caught this southbound grain train here in bucolic splendor rolling 100 cars of midwest grain toward Mexico. |
