Rolling meet |
| Description: |
Though not the way youd expect. The grain train makes its way south on the main, while the coal train, which had cut at the crossing, now backs down to reconnect. Both sets of power moving the same direction. Not your typical meet. |

Surprise |
| Description: |
I went back up to the north end of the siding, thinking the coal train would be underway momentarily, only to find the conductor cutting the train at the SR 51 crossing. Thats not good. Theyll be stuck here a while. Another promising chase thwarted by an outlawing crew. Not so fast. As I was heading up to the north end of town to consider my options, I saw a headlight in the distance. It turned out to be this southbound grain move, led by a pair of UP units. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
When I went past the SR 100 crossing, the crew was cutting the train, which they typically do if theres going to be a long wait, and they dont want to block traffic. I ran up to the the head end to get this shot while I considered my next move. I didnt know it, but there was a southbound in the mix, which would make the decision easy. |

Down at the station |
| Description: |
I ran down to the station to catch the 262 as it went past. Id leave him here, and follow the empty AEPX train north, but not before more action unfolded. |

Going to meet a northbound |
| Description: |
There was chatter on the radio about a northbound, so I went down to the station to see if I could get it on the way into town. It turned out to be an empty AEPX coal train behind a Belle and a UP unit, here approaching the Stilwell station. |

Off the bridge |
| Description: |
I knew Id have a race to beat the 262 to Watts, but the railfan gods were with me, and I made all the lights, beating him with enough time to set up in the driveway of an old roadhouse on US 59 for this shot of the train coming off the Illinois River bridge |

Like always, it starts with something else |
| Description: |
We were coming back from lunch, when we saw the 181 train stretched out down to the US 412 overpass, waiting in the siding. We had to drop some mail at the post office, then head home. He was still there 15 minutes later when we came back. My wife said I could drop her home and take off. I dropped her off, grabbed a bag of recycling, and away I went. I got this shot of the head end waiting south of Lincoln St after dropping the bottles. The detector went off right after, and the chase was on. |

California Zephyr in Colorful Colorado |
| Description: |
A patriotic pair of P42DCs take the lead of Amtraks California Zephyr as it slowly creeps past Glenwood Springs historic D&RG-era depot in the scenic Roaring Fork Valley on a partially-cloudy June afternoon. AMTK 5 would be making its 23rd stop along its 33-stop westbound route between Chicago, Illinois and Emeryville, California just before rainfall with a nice pair of P42DCs on the point; AMTK 174 wearing Amtraks new Phase VII livery and AMTK 160 wearing the famous Phase III "Pepsi Can" livery once carried by their fleet of B32-8WHs in honor of their 50th anniversary in 2021. |
