Caught one
Title:  Caught one
Description:  We were heading up to Joplin for a trip to Pizza Ranch, which wed taken a liking to in trips to the upper midwest, and to Woodys Smokehouse to pick up some barbecue-and just to get out, since it was a nice day in the 40s, after a week of snow and bitter(overnights below zero) cold. As we approached Decatur, a UP nose came out of the trees. I turned at got it at the next crossing, taking advantage of not having to be on the west side of the tracks, as it was mid day. The 30 MPH board is for northbounds, which are coming into an S curve as they approach town.

Better angle
Title:  Better angle
Description:  A mile or so south, the tracks swing into a right hand curve, giving me a little more sun on this 91 car crude oil train. The leader appears to be a recent repaint, as it was the cleanest UP unit I'd seen in some time. It appears they have dispensed with the nose wings.
