First encounter |
| Description: |
Wed just come back from Wal Mart, and in the process of unloading the weeks goodies, I heard a horn. I quickly got the stuff in the house and took off. Turned out what I thought was a northbound wasnt, but I sometimes dont catch up to them right away, since the northbounds are usually lighter trains, and can get a good roll on. So, I went to Decatur, hoping that was the case, and Id catch it. When I got to Decatur, the signal was lit green for a southbound. Ill take it. At least I didnt waste the trip. A KCS Belle leads 125 cars of grain south. |

The current retro Belle scheme compares to the old scheme as the grain move passes the stuffed and mounted F 7 at Decatur. |

Taking advantage |
| Description: |
The line through Decatur is on a steep grade going south, so its usually not much of a challenge to get ahead of a train. I got about a mile south of the prevous spot downtown to get this more scenic shot across a pasture. Pretty sky |

DPU |
| Description: |
In the CPKC regime, the operating plan has moved to mid train DPUs, and its become common to see them on grain and mineral trains. The 4111 was 61 cars deep in the 125 car train. We saw it as a DPU on a coal train back in January-see the Snow Days album-and it was dirty then. Doesnt look like its had a bath since that day. |

Not quite |
| Description: |
I wasnt able to get ahead of the train by Gentry to get a good set up, so not quite the long lens shot I wanted here. Still did OK. View from the Ark 12 overpass. |

Making the grade |
| Description: |
Theres another steep climb coming up out of Sleepy Hollow, which taxes the southbound loaded trains. After getting the shot at Gentry, I was able to get ahead far enough to see the signal was at approach, and the train had not yet come around the curve at the base of the hill. The next jump would be a lot less frantic. |

Holding |
| Description: |
The approach signal at Davidson Rd meant a stop board here at North Siloam, and the train is holding out north of the signal, waiting for a meet with the 261 train. Hell be here 45 minutes before pulling down into the siding, his train stretched out over a mile behind him. Hell block Country Club Rd, but thats about all. |
