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. |

Through the glass |
| Description: |
We were driving through Sallisaw OK making our way to US 59 north, when we were stopped at a light, and heard a horn behind us. A quick dive into a parking lot with a clear view got this going away shot of a coal train through the windshield. Glad I had just washed it!! UP 7174 was a returning friend; I had shot it on the KCS about a month earlier. |
