New view
Title:  New view
Description:  The US 59 widening project has meant some serious tree and brush clearing. One place that got it was the area around Chewey Rd, between MP 238 and 239. Prior to the project, it was treed in. Now its wide open, creating a shot I had wished existed for years. Here we have a southbound H train approaching the curve, and the following two shots as it makes its way through. This was taken right from the shoulder of US 59.

Description:  As the KCS goes south, it turns so that the tracks face southwest, then turn south through a sweeping curve at MP 237. Its adjacent to US 59, and an easy spot to work. The train starts south through the curve, making for a beautifully lit shot.

Unusual scene
Title:  Unusual scene
Description:  We don't get much snow here, most years less than a foot for the whole season. The week before I got this show of Q KCNL passing the cemetery at CP Flint Creek we had around 10", and it was cold, down to -12 three nights earlier. The up side was, when the trains ran, it made for a good photo. A four unit set rolls south with 66 freight, a DPU, followed by 16 two unit auto racks, and 15 stack platforms.

Primary season
Title:  Primary season
Description:  This year is a midterm election year, as well as being an election year for all the two year seats,as well as governor in Oklahoma. Some signs promoting candidates for Oklahoma offices line the right of way at the north end of Stiilwell as our grain train passes. It makes no endorsements for any office, just getting the corn on south.

Home signal
Title:  Home signal
Description:  The southbound train rolls past the northhbound home signal at CP South Cave Springs. I didn't dawdle getting here from Stilwell, getting out of town on OK 100, five miles, then left on Bunch Road-there's a sign, which is really helpful, given that road signs in rural Oklahoma, as in many places, are often lacking-then six miles to get here. I beat the train by about five minutes, so hustle pays. There's a nice morning shot about four miles south of here, from up on a hillside I want to try when the timing and time of day work out.

Through the sag
Title:  Through the sag
Description:  The line through Stilwell is a bit of a drag coming into town on a short grade, then a long sag as it goes on south. We see the grain train roll its 93 cars through the dip as it approaches the home signals at the north end of the controlled siding here.

Rolling at you
Title:  Rolling at you
Description:  I had heard a horn from the house about a half hour earlier and took off, driving from my house down to Westville, then backtracking up to Watts. As I crossed the Illinois River bridge, this southbound grain train was just reaching it. I turned at the next intersection and gave chase, catching him here at MP 238, getting this telephoto view as he rolled toward me. Today's chase would expand my horizons a little, as I took it past my usual stopping point of Stilwell, and on 13 more miles to Bunch OK.
