Anticipation |
| Description: |
I was working in the yard when I heard a northbound approaching. A quick pit stop and grab a soda later, and I was on my way. There was a 181 going north as I got into town, but far enough ahead of me, and moving well enough to beat me to Gentry. I got ahead of him at Y City Rd south of Decatur, and pulled up for the shot, to see an approach as I crossed the tracks. Hell have an approach medium at 216-8 in Decatur, and will take the siding at Dorsey. |

The quarry |
| Description: |
The 181 I chased was not far behind, and I shot it here crossing Y City Rd, passing the old paddock. Hes slowing for the signal, and will take the siding in another five minutes or so. |

The 181 has passed, 39 stack platforms and 28 autoracks, leaving the block occupied. The signal is still lit, an indication there is more going on. |

Why the 181 is in the siding |
| Description: |
I went to the crossing on Mt Olive Rd, north of Dorsey siding, to wait for the meet. I wasnt to be disappointed; the southbound showed in five minutes, a grain train behind a UP/KCS power set. Hes passing MP 213 with 93 cars. |

Railfan chase vehicle |
| Description: |
In a recent set in the "The Chase Is On" album, I have a shot of my Toyota RAV4, a 2013 that I recently gave up to my wifes son, who was needing a newer car. This is what replaced it, a 2024 Subaru Outback Touring XT. I plan on doing a lot of touring and chasing in it. Its next to the lead unit on the 181 train at Wolf Creek |

Took a bit |
| Description: |
Theres a short, but stiff grade coming up into Decatur that usually slows a heavy unit train, such as this one. He must have been inspired, as I usually catch them by Y City Rd, that we saw earlier. It was not to be. I went all the way down to Floyd Moore Rd before I caught him. The grain train rounds a curve along Ark 59 approaching Gentry |

First catch |
| Description: |
I heard a southbound from the house, and took off. I cant get through Siloam and still catch one of these trains, so I usually take Ark 59 south and US 62 to Westville, which allows me to get the across the field farm shot most of the time. It worked today, I caught this southbound grain train here in bucolic splendor rolling 100 cars of midwest grain toward Mexico. |

Didnt quite make it |
| Description: |
I like the shots at Baron, since there is a long tangent approaching from the north, allowing several views here. Sometimes I dont get them all; even with a 65 MPH speed limit on US 59, its two lane, and there are an amazing(to me) number of people who are content to run 50 MPH there. So I dont always get the tele shot. Still, the shot is pretty good there, and I did OK for getting sandbagged by a slowpoke en route. |

| Title: |
Surprise |
| Description: |
I had heard a horn from the house, and took off for my usual quick ride to Westville. I was getting set up for the southbound I knew about, when I heard a train call the signal for Westville. Turned out to be the 181. The southbound was at Watts, waiting on this guy, who is now passing me going north, with a pair of KCSM GE"s leading 64 stack platforms, 6 autos and 27 articulated auto racks. |

Long train of boxes |
| Description: |
The telephoto brings in the long wall of double stacked containers as the train rolls over the Ballard Creek bridge. It will shortly be taking the siding at Watts for the meet with the southbound grain train that was my original quarry. |
