As I Was Leaving Town
Title:  As I Was Leaving Town
Description:  They have now cut off the "lead units" and ran them back across the diamonds, Dad and I guessed they'll put them back on the other end with the GEVO DPU and run it back to the Powder River Basin. I love those signals! Those clouds are getting nasty, Dad and I decided that we better start home.

MP Depot
Title:  MP Depot
Description:  This is an old Iron Mountain depot, now WR's Chamber of Commerce. Dad and I once missed Amtrak in Poplar Bluff, MO and chased it here and still missed it because the attendant "couldn't stop it" at 2 mph when we could have gotten on while on the fly. We left a day late with an upgraded sleeper thanks to a very nice agent after she and her company got a little talking to.

Old Frisco Depot
Title:  Old Frisco Depot
Description:  This is the old depot on the Hoxie Branch, from Hoxie, AR to Rockview, MO. Dang truck shut off here, the alternator went out on it, we took it to Sam's Garage, an old man from New Madrid County saw my Union Pacific shirt and started talking to my grandpa and I about the Cotton Belt around Cotton Pickin' season in the old days, very nice man. Sam's 5 year old grandson is as crazy about trains as the person that is reading this is, so I showed him a few photos from the day before of trains on my LCD display.

Title:  Ex-Connie Leading a Northbound Intermodal

Northbound Grain Train
Title:  Northbound Grain Train
Description:  Wow, UP is actually going to run a northbound grain train up the De Soto Sub. I got up close and personal with this train, when the train came around the curve I walked towards the yellow line, when I looked at the train again I thought, "Oh shit, I'd better back up, he's on Main Track 1 and going up the De Soto!" The engineer honked twice and the crew waved, because we still do that here.

Title:  Northbound Intermodal With 3 SD40 Family Locomotives
Description:  Here's an Alstom Rebuild leading UP Train ZLDYC 16. I crossed paths with the 6026 on 12-5-04 in a cold rain storm about a quarter mile south of here. This engine was destroyed on 11-24-05 at Momence, IL at Pence Interlocking when a southbound UP Train and an eastbound NS Train collided. Nobdody was killed, but UP 1385, UP 1485, UP 1800, and UP 2658 from the UP Train were scrapped on site, as well as NS 9443 and CN 6026, and a Guilford Unit, MEC 375, the engines from the NS Train. To see the 6026 wrecked, go here: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=130505 .
