Greenes, Blues and Oranges |
| Description: |
The Oil Xtra crawls through a long elevated curve above Rt 202 in Greene, passing by a green backdrop of thick spring foliage. Was a great day for a chase! |

Sprague Mills Rd |
| Description: |
The "Going Real Slow" monkier for Guilford seemed more than applicable today, as the oil train seemed to be making 10-15 the whole way from Lewiston to Monmouth. The upside was that you could get ahead enough to shoot at every crossing and photo spot. Should note, the person in the car at the crossing was an oddity today, they had no camera and seemed less than interested in orange locomotives...Imagine! |

Rolling Again |
| Description: |
Oil Train is moving north again, with a Form D to Waterville and the switch lined for the main. This move brought all the railfans out of the woodwork, as can be seen here. Some of them started early and chased from as far south as the Scarbourough Marsh! |

Having seen a beautiful picture of the OCS taken here 10 days back, I knew I the place, and the shot that was possible. My attempt wasnt quite as awesome, but I still thought seeing BNSF power in my little Maine town was pretty damn cool! |

Shadows |
| Description: |
The late afternoon sun has started to dip below tree level, leading to long shadows. 5410 just cleared the crossing on Main Street in Monmouth, and would very shortly pick up speed. |

Parting Shot |
| Description: |
With home (for me) just around the block this was my last shot. The old oaks along the top of the hill streched their shadows far enough to cover the crossing. |
