Over the creek |
| Description: |
US 59 from Watts south to Westville is being upgraded to a four lane. As part of this improvement, there has been a lot of tree and brush cuttijg, resulting in some better photo opportunities. One of these is the bridge over Barren Creek, just south of Watts, where we see a southbond 111 cap grain train. |

It started with a horn in the distance |
| Description: |
I was outside working on some yard task, when I heard a horn off to the south. I took off for town to see what was up. A check of the signal at South Siloam Springs showed a restricting-see the Track and Signals album for that sequence-so a northbound will be taking the siding. By the time I got into position, the train-it was the 181, whose back end we see here-was already too far up for me to get a good shot, and the southbound you see here had passed the detector up at Davidson Rd. I set up on the US 412 bridge, and shot the back end meet. |

Southbound grain close up |
| Description: |
The grain train rolls its 105 cars under the US 412 overpass, and heads down the hill to Watts. Should have let him go, and followed the 181, which had a pair of Belles, the leader a KCSM AC 44 leading, up to Gentry. Youll see why shortly. |

Should have been checking!! Oh, well. There will be other days. Meanwhile, the train splits the signals at CP North Stilwell. |

Canned |
| Description: |
The grain train I shot at Siloam made it as far as Watts, where he held the main-for about 45 minutes. He was waiting on an empty northbound coal train. I could have shot the 181 in Gentry and still made it back here for the meet. So it goes , another day of railfanning. |
