It starts with a horn
Title:  It starts with a horn
Description:  I heard one from the house, and knew right away it was a southbound. I took off down Ark 59, a typical approach, since it takes too long to go up through Siloam, fight my way across town, and beat the train to Watts. I can beat a train to Westville. When I got there, I heard a train call the signal at CP Westville..."KCS 4034 north." Oh, thats not the train I was after. He must be at Watts waiting on the meet. I got into position, and was able to catch this 95 car empty grain train behind five units heading north past the feed mill.
