Delayed chase |
Description: |
I was dropping my recycling when a northbound empty coal train went past the dump. I was elbows deep in a bin of plastic and glass, and it was already 1515-they close at 1530-so I needed to get the task done. The coal train-led by a KCS unit and a BNSF Grinstein-was moving too fast for me to catch up, and I had things to do at home. After he went by, a track car got track and time to go to Gentry, then clear up by 1600, there was a southbound at Noel. I went to Gentry at 1600, no train, so worked north, finally catching him coming across Roller Av as I got into town. |

Anticipation |
Description: |
The automatic at 219-2 is red, the southbound having turned it as it approaches. The signal is at the crest of a short but steep grade, and even moderate sized trains drag here. The M trains 68 freight, 20 stack platforms and 15 autoracks are proving a challenge. |

Closer view |
Description: |
One of the things I like to do is get some of the environment in a photo-lineside hardware, which is harder and harder to find, now that pole lines are largely a memory-buildings, and such. This old building is adjacent to the tracks just north of the overpass, and makes a nice prop. The M train rolls past, about to pass under Ark 12. |

Feed mill |
Description: |
I dont usually get a shot of a train "downtown" as it were in Siloam; Im usually up at Davidson Rd, or at Tahlequah St, at the north end of the siding. Southbounds havea a good climb out of the Flint Creek valley, and I knew if I hustled, I could beat him to town for this shot of him rolling past the old feed mill adjacent to the tracks. |

By the office |
Description: |
I dont usually do chases that go through Siloam Springs-I live there, most of my excursions begin and end there, and its a challenge to drive through(lots of lights and traffic), where the trains roll on. It was early enough in the day to stay the course on this M train, so I went with it. I didnt get down to Watts fast enough to get him coming off the Illinois River, but was able to beat him to the yard. The M train passes the yard office and customer Bakery Feeds non stop. The chase is once again on. |

It's a short chase, but, oh, goody!! |
Description: |
We had gone out to Wal Mart late on Saturday afternoon. When we got up to Lake Frances Rd, I looked over to see a northbound coal train on the crossing, just cresting the hill from Watts. I could not see the power, but when we got up on the US 412 overpass, I could see it had not reached the crossing farther down on Lincoln. Maybe I can beat him. In a marvel of good timing, as we crossed the tracks, to the north was this soutbbound approaching. Oh, goody, I thought-a meet. This is the 262 approaching Lincoln Av crossing. The northbound was still sneaking up on us. That would be the real surprise. |

Last week, I caught this train with a DPU that was about 60 cars deep in a 90 or so car train. Today, the DPU is on the rear, pushing 94 freight and 18 auto racks south. Its crossing Lincoln Av as a patient motorist watches. Wait til he sees the 125 car coal train on the other track!! |

What I wanted last week |
Description: |
a few Sundays back, I chased a lite power move with CP 7012 leading. I thought at the time, it would have been better if it had been pulling a train. Today I got my wish, as it leads an empty TXUX coal train up the siding at Siloam Springs. |

Northbound start |
Description: |
Sometimes what I expect will be a chase in one direction, turns out to be the opposite. I was coming back from picking up pool chemicals, and heard a horn. I gave chase, beating this empty crude oil train to Gentry. When I got there, I noticed the switch lined for the siding. Looks like a meet is imminent. The oil train, five units up front, has pulled partly into the siding as it waits for what will be a southbound oil train. |

Taking the siding |
Description: |
When I was heading back to the house before coming out on this chase, there was a northbound heading past Lake Frances Rd. I expected it would take the siding, but was surprised to find it was holding the main, and the southbound would take the siding here, a 15 MPH move. Its doing that now, and the northbound will roll up shortly. |
