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. |

Coming out |
| Description: |
The grain train is now coming around the curve, snaking past Chewie Rd, and moving along US 59 for a short distance before the tracks move away from the road. This view was opened up when the road was upgraded to four lane in 2016. Its already getting grown over. |
