| A wider view shows the Fs trailing the 2816 as the train approaches downtown Decatur. This would be the last time I caught him til Sallisaw. The train had been delayed enough that it was now getting into shift change time; there are several Simmons Foods chicken plants in the area, and everyone was getting out of work. I missed the light at the big plant between here and Gentry, then got stuck at the light there for a couple of changes. I was able to get within sight of the train at Siloam, but had to stop at the house to pick up my wife and restock sodas. By the time we were on our way, we missed him at Westville OK, and boogied for Sallisaw. Too bad, there were spots I wanted to shoot between Watts and Westville that would have been sweet, even in the crappy weather. |
