Grain south and a wait |
Description: |
This grain train was waiting north of Stilwell, most likely for a meet. Why they were held up here is a mystery, since the siding there is quite long enough to hold a 100 car train without blocking any crossings. Made the shot easy for me though. |

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 |
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. |

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. |

Just as I suspected |
Description: |
The southbound was rolling slowly down the main at Watts, coming to a stop at the home signal at the south end of the yard. I figured there was a meet in the offing, and was correct. As I came around the curve at MP 237, the 261 train was almost in my face with a pair of GEs and 87 cars. |
