And away |
| Description: |
The coal train recedes south, now rolling toward Texas. The train I first saw at 1100 six miles to the north, is now on its way five hours later. Sometimes you dont get far, and it takes forever. |

Remember this train?? |
| Description: |
The coal train we saw on our way to lunch turns out to be the southbound I heard, now approaching the south end of Watts as the 181 rolls up the siding to the meet. |

Surprise northbound |
| Description: |
Around 1530, I heard a horn going south, already downhill from Siloam. I usually cant beat a train to Watts by going through town, so I go south on Ark 59, then west on US 62 into Westville, which allows me to meet the train between Westville and Watts. As I came into Westville, I heard a horn. Cant be the southbound, he wont make it here in the time it took me. Nope, its the 181 heading north. I caught him here just north of MP 239. |

Not only dont you get far, it takes all day to do it |
| Description: |
We were on our way to an early lunch in town, and encountered this southbound AEPX train coming into Siloam Springs. We got a couple shots at Jefferson St, and went on. He was still there when we retunred 90 minutes or so later. UP 6600 is framed by the crossing signals. |

NS 8104 |
| Description: |
After I missed the insane 30Q, I was preparing to leave, but on a whim I decided to check Heritage Units, and Im so glad I did. As it turned out, I actually hadnt missed 257 with 8104 leading, since it stopped in Mishawaka due to a mechanical fault. Knowing it was almost here, we rushed to the depot for a better shot and after a short wait, there it was. Nice to finally see after missing it twice. |

When I got to the hospital spot, I was immediately disappointed with the sight of NS 28X. While it had a very rare 9800 series Dash 9 trailing, it also went through Chesterton after 30Q, meaning I missed it. |
