Over the creek
Title:  Over the creek
Description:  About three miles south of Cave Springs, just below Bunch, is a short bridge over a creek. Ive wanted to try the shot for a while, and today was my chance. It works well with two units, and probably three. More will be too many. But its a good spot.

Out of the shadows
Title:  Out of the shadows
Description:  Its now the time of year where the sun is low, and the shadows reach places they would not other times of year. One must adjust accordingly. The southbound grain train splits the signals at CP North Watts as it blasts south, catching a patch of sun as it rolls past.

Close in
Title:  Close in
Description:  I got sandbagged by slowpokes coming down from Westville, and missed the shot at the crossing in Baron, but was able to catch up before he got to the crossing near MP 252. I was hoping for a little more color, but its a bit early yet for this far south. I got the train in the trees, even if they are mostly green.

Wider view
Title:  Wider view
Description:  A wider view from the same spot. Hopefully in a week or two, I can do this shot with some foliage, which is notoriously lackluster in these parts.

Title:  DPU
Description:  The DPU on the empty coal train rolls away into the shadows behind Ozark Electronics. These units would have led south. There were five engines on the head end of this train, so some power balancing going on.
