Close |
| Description: |
Southbound stone train at the crossing along US 59 as a car approaches, then stops, maybe a little too close for the engineers comfort. This crossing has difficult sight lines for both the train and vehicles. |

Grab shot |
| Description: |
I had chased this stone train south through Siloam Springs, always a chancy effort, and caught up to him just as he was clearing the south end of the siding at Watts. I pulled into a side road, rolled down the window and fired. A little off level, but otherwise came out OK/ Hustle pays!! |

Took a while |
| Description: |
I was home, and heard a horn coming from a northbound working uphill from Watts. This should be a fairly easy quest, so I went a got a soda and headed out. By the time I got up into town, he was already on Lincoln Av, and I was playing catch up. Heavy traffic at Gentry, and a couple of slowpokes, and I had just caught up to his head end at Gravette. Finally, Im ahead enough to set up, getting this shot off the Ark 59 overpass of the 261 train behind 4 units. |
