Waiting
Title:  Waiting
Description:  We had gone out to check out some of the local waterways, following a 4 to 5 inch rain event earlier in the week. As we came back through Siloam, we encountered this empty grain train waiting in the siding for an impending southbound. I grabbed this shot, and we went off toward Watts to see how the Illinois River was doing. While in Watts, a southbound AEPX train would come along, the train this one was waiting for.
