Rolling past
Title:  Rolling past
Description:  After getting the shot of the leader going past the signals, I ran to get it meeting the power on the Q train. He was a bit faster than me, and I didnt get the power passing power shot I wanted. This is still a pretty good action shot, though, of the Q train conductor giving the northbound a roll by.

In the shade
Title:  In the shade
Description:  After shooting the meet with the northbound oil train at Siloam, I took off, making good time through town-the biggest obstacle to chasing on this part of the Heavener Sub, getting through Siloam-and was able to beat the train to North Watts, but not far enough ahead to get the strarght on shot of him coming off the Illinois River bridge. I had to settle for this shot of him splitting the signals at CP North Watts. A decent shot in any event. The low sun of late fall means lots of shade here most of the day.
