Caught him
Title:  Caught him
Description:  I heard a horn while I was working outside, and decided to give chase of a northbound. It turned out to be an empty TXUX train, with a pair of BNSF units on the rear. I caught him just south of Decatur, and set up for the shot passing the displayed F 7 at the station.

Just caught him
Title:  Just caught him
Description:  After we saw the light power move, we came out to take a ride in the sun, stopping at nearby Crystal Lake to do some bird watching and enjoy the 60 degree day. As we were heading back to Ark 59, we saw a southbound rolling past. A quick dash into Decatur got me ahead of the train, but just enough to jump and get a grab shot. So we have BNSF 6359 leading a 125 car TXUX train, and a nice shot of a light pole with an F unit behind it,

Finally
Title:  Finally
Description:  I had gone out to see the CPKC Holiday Train, the original plan was to pick it up at Noel, then follow it south til the light went. I got distracted along the way, first by a southbound grain move almost as soon as I left the house, then when I got to Decatur and the southbound signal was green at Roller Av. I decided to wait there, instead of working against the train, rather than risk missing it. Turned out the signal was for a southbound grain move that was working Georges Farms just to the north, and the Holiday Train was delayed at McElhany due to an incident requiring police involvement, and would be released around 1630. At 1715, it finally showed here, passing the stuffed and mounted F 7 here, also adorned with lights.

KCS Northbound Train
Title:  KCS Northbound Train
Description:  Kansas City Southern F3A 95 and a pair of unidentified B-units were on a northbound train passing the SIGNOR team track just west (timetable north) of New Orleans. The grade crossing under construction in the foreground would become Clearview Parkway. Number 95 may have been unique in that it had red stripes, while most white units had yellow ones. At this location, the train was heading right into the afternoon sun.

Description:  Kansas City Southern F7 95 at Heavener, Oklahoma on May 21, 1976, slide by Paul Strang from Chuck Zeiler collection. I know nothing about this slide. It is unmarked and in a mount that says, Seal Edge With Warm Iron, suggesting that it was mounted by someone other than the lab.
