Coming home |
| Description: |
The dodger, L 102, pauses by the Watts yard office before yarding his train. I heard the train blowing for the crossings in Siloam Springs, headed down here to see this view. It would be the first of three trains this afternoon, though the next one would be a while. |

The dodger is back |
| Description: |
After chasing the 262 down to Westville, I headed back to Watts, thinking Id find the 261 still working there. As I approached the south end of the yard, I saw a headlight in the distance. As I got up to the yard office, it turned out to the the dodger returning to the yard from its days work. The 261 had a pick up and set out, but must have worked quickly, leaving not long after I started following the 262, since hed have to have met the dodger at Siloam. The dodger was a good looking train, three baby Belles and 42 cars. I had hoped to chase the 261 north, but the Strathcona unit was not leading, and I had gotten some good shots of the engine and the coat of arms, so not a total loss. I got four trains for the afternoon, so a good day. |

In the plant |
| Description: |
Wes just shot an empty coal train, and the dodger had cleared up in the Little Debbie plant. This is a close up of the power inside the gate. Dont see any cars. The crew must have finished, and are now going for some Oatmeal Creme Pies... |
