Roster view |
| Description: |
The 261 pulled up to the private crossing just north of Watts for head room, allowing this roster shot of leader KCS 5002. For some reason, these units dont show here much, at least not when Im watching. So it was good to see one, especially in the lead. |

Across the road |
| Description: |
Im almost always chasing here, and typically take this shot from the southbound side of US 59. The train wasnt moving that fast, so I came around and shot him from the northbound side, a slightly different angle. |

DPU |
| Description: |
The DPU on the grain train finally rolls past. I knew the 261 was still working at Watts, and for a moment considered following this train to Westville, another four miles south, where the shot across the field was beautifully lit, with hay bales scattered around it, but also wanted to get a shot of the 261 on the Illinois River. This was as far as I went with the grain move. |

CP unit with flags |
| Description: |
The CP unit bringing up the rear on the grain train had a very faded pair of flags on the side, Im guessing US and Canadian. I dont know what significance they had, obviously some time ago. |

Waiting... |
| Description: |
I mentioned the dilemma of chasing the grain train to Westville for the hay field shot, and having decided against it, rather than miss the 261 heading north. I neednt have worried. Here he is, now shadowed in the trees at the north end of Watts siding, waiting for a southbound to pass on the main. Oh well... |

The southbound |
| Description: |
Ten minutes later, I heard a horn to the north, followed shortly by the three headlights of a train swinging onto the Illinois River bridge, then into the patch of sun immediately to the south, about to roll past MP 234 and the southbound home signal at CP North Watts. |
