Grain south and a wait
Title:  Grain south and a wait
Description:  This grain train was waiting north of Stilwell, most likely for a meet. Why they were held up here is a mystery, since the siding there is quite long enough to hold a 100 car train withovt blocking any crossings. Made the shot easy for me though.

CN 3159 et. al.
Title:  CN 3159 et. al.
Description:  CN 3159 (ET44AC), along with two foreign power units, KCS 4860 (ES44AC) and CSX 396 (AC44CW), leads a southbound manifest along the CNs Neenah Subdivision. Seen from Shaky Lake Road in the Town of Dale, WI, this angle of the former WC/SOO rails is one of my favorites.

Title:  Interesting Pair - CN 5628 & KCS 4860
Description:  CN SD75I # 5628 is in the lead with KCS ES44AC #4860 trailing as the pair head toward CN's Kirk Yard just north into Gary, IN along the former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern mainline, now a CN property. KCS is a rare foreign power in northwest indiana, at least around Griffith!

Primary season
Title:  Primary season
Description:  This year is a midterm election year, as well as being an election year for all the two year seats,as well as governor in Oklahoma. Some signs promoting candidates for Oklahoma offices line the right of way at the north end of Stiilwell as our grain train passes. It makes no endorsements for any office, just getting the corn on south.

Home signal
Title:  Home signal
Description:  The southbound train rolls past the northhbound home signal at CP South Cave Springs. I didn't dawdle getting here from Stilwell, getting out of town on OK 100, five miles, then left on Bunch Road-there's a sign, which is really helpful, given that road signs in rural Oklahoma, as in many places, are often lacking-then six miles to get here. I beat the train by about five minutes, so hustle pays. There's a nice morning shot about four miles south of here, from up on a hillside I want to try when the timing and time of day work out.

Through the sag
Title:  Through the sag
Description:  The line through Stilwell is a bit of a drag coming into town on a short grade, then a long sag as it goes on south. We see the grain train roll its 93 cars through the dip as it approaches the home signals at the north end of the controlled siding here.

Rolling at you
Title:  Rolling at you
Description:  I had heard a horn from the house about a half hour earlier and took off, driving from my house down to Westville, then backtracking up to Watts. As I crossed the Illinois River bridge, this southbound grain train was just reaching it. I turned at the next intersection and gave chase, catching him here at MP 238, getting this telephoto view as he rolled toward me. Today's chase would expand my horizons a little, as I took it past my usual stopping point of Stilwell, and on 13 more miles to Bunch OK.
