Somehow I beat the dodger to Kenwood St in Siloam Springs-no mean feat, the traffic in Siloam that time of day is awful, and the lights are not set up so you can make them-getting there just enough ahead of him to get this shot as he approached the crossing. The lighting was wonderful. |

Looking like new |
| Description: |
A forty year old GP 38 can look pretty good in a new coat of paint, as this one does here on the Dodger. Note the lack of dynamic brakes. Most roads got them, a few(LIRR among them, I saw all of them in a previous life) did not. Most of the KCS 38s have them, so it was sort of a surprise that I found this one. |

I had followed the southbound H train to Watts, and it was working the yard while the dodger got his train together. When he was ready, off he went. I was not in position to get him passing the DPU on the road train, but was able to get this shot from adjacent US 59 of the train and all five cars rolling north. Its a matter of seconds!! |

Local out in the field |
| Description: |
The dodger, more properly L 102, waits while the ground man works on the cars just coupled up on the Pipelife siding. I caught the power from Washington St, across from the tracks. This consist has been on the train for the last three weeks. |

Walking up |
| Description: |
The ground squirrels who have the task of throwing switches and coupling cars walk to the head end of the dodger, its power poking its nose out from under the US 412 overpass, following its work at Pipelife Jetstream. Theyll be on their way to Decatur shortly. |

Pushing back |
| Description: |
The L 102 dodger can spend a lot of time working at Pipelife, pulling emties and spotting loads. It was in the midst of one such move when I caught it as I approached Kenwood St crossing. |

Local grab |
| Description: |
I had just finished up at the recycle bins when the dodger came up to Lincoln Av. I was able to beat him to Cheri Whitlock Dr for a quick shot from the car. This will look entirely different when the new overpass is done, and I can get some elevation. The plot in the foreground is usually planted with sunflowers by the adjacent home owner, so that will make for a good photo. |

Pipe Dream |
| Description: |
The dodger, officially L 102, works at Pipe Life-Jetstream. Guess what they make!! The groundman is somewhere down the cut of cars, most likely connecting air hoses and checking couplers so the engineer can pull the empties. |

Under a wintry sky |
| Description: |
The sun angle is giving the clouds that wintry look-they just look cold-belying the 65 degree temperature on this February Friday. Three units pull up to Kenwood St with a cut of cars from Pipelife, whom they have just been switching on the other side of the US 412 overpass. |

Blue sky, gray power |
| Description: |
The leader on the dodger sits on the Kenwood St crossing as it waits for a signal to shove back into Pipelife, stark agains the blue sky. |

While you wait |
| Description: |
As the dodger was working Pipelife, an often time consuming project with a lot of sitting and waiting time, I heard a horn off to the south. Must be another northbound. Three minutes later I got this 100 car northbound empty grain train passing the local behind an ES 44, and a repainted AC44CW, of which there seem to be more and more lately. |

Bearing down |
| Description: |
The local is now passing the home signal at CP North Watts. It will take the main south past CP South Watts, since there is a northbound empty grain train waiting on a crew in the siding. Hell work the south end, putting away the 36 cars collected during the days work. The grain train wont get out before I give up on it about two hours hence. |

Long approach |
| Description: |
The dodger, L 102, is just coming off the Illinois River as it heads toward the yard at Watts. The 93 degrees make for quite a bit of heat distortion at this distance. |

The dodger blows past my position at North Watts, and will shortly be working the south end of the yard. |
