By the barn #2 |
| Description: |
I waited on the coal train, now taking a position up on the old US 59 alignment, now a local road. It gave me a more panoramic view of the area than the shot from the new US 59 shoulder. The pair of EMDs has 123 cars of Texas bound coal in hand, passing the familiar hay bales. |

On Baron Fork Creek |
| Description: |
As usual, I got right out of Baron and headed to the spot where US 59 and the KCS crossed Baron Fork Creek. I typically have enough time to set up the shot, and today was no exception. Two CP units and the BNSF unit the train came with enter the through truss. |

Done for the day |
| Description: |
The clouds were moving in, and there was no meet here. Time to head home. I like it better when there's a meet here, as it gives me another train to follow home, but it's not in the cards today. It was a good chase. |
