Same sky, different angle |
Description: |
Funny how changing the orientation will make such a difference. More train, more sky, still a good photo in a classic pose. |

Just missed |
Description: |
I had chased a northbound to Noel, choosing to shoot him at the Kings Highway low water crossing. As soon as I go that shot, I beat it into town, since he was slowing for a meet. I didnt get there quite fast enough, as this southbound was just about on the MO 90 crossing as I pulled up. I was able to get this going away shot. |

Low water crossing |
Description: |
This northbound Q train rolls along Butler Creek, crossing Kings Highway. This past spring, the road here was almost impassible due to water over the road, and was closed for a while. Now wed pay for rain. |

Even backward, a UP winged nose GE makes a compelling photo, seen here as the DPU on an empty OGEX coal train passing the feed mill in Anderson. |

Under the rocks |

The famous bluff that is the background for many KCS publicity photos also works for northbounds, though not quite as well. An empty AEPX train rolls north under the rocks. |

Dont shoot this much |
Description: |
The view of the Elk River bridge here at Ginger Blue is much more appealing from the opposite side, with a wide view of the river. That scene was done in a night photo that appeared as the main shot in a piece on places to see the KCS in the March 2022 issue of Trains. This shot from the opposite side is also appealing. |

Along the road |
Description: |
Twice in two weeks, we headed north to see what we could find; twice we stopped at Caseys in Anderson for a short break, only to have a southbound Q train come by while we were there. Same story, caught him along MO 59 south of Anderson, which is a stunningly good view of a train going south, and also north as you get toward sunset. Southbound Q train, and the chase is on. We followed him to Watts. |

Over the bridge |
Description: |
The Q train rolls over the Elk River bridge, once again from the "wrong" side. It will be a little farther into the year before I can get the river side this time of day. Maybe KCS will run the train later.... |
