Headed to breakfast |
| Description: |
We got done with what I call "stretchy class," a senior low impact aerobic class that keeps us moving, and does some good for our old bones. We get done around 1030, so breakfast is the next order of business. Ill often take Davidson Rd out to Ark 59 if were going to Gentry, as we were this day. Aside from being a fairly quick ride out to the state highway, it also passes automatic 226-5, which was flashing yellow as we crossed the tracks. I set up, and this southbound grain train was on us a few minutes later, with an AC 44 that was pretending it was CP 2816. |

| Title: |
Smoking it up now |
| Description: |
Davidson Road is at the top of a long climb out of a section called Sleepy Hollow, a dip between here and Gentry down into a creek valley. Unit trains really work here, and this 101 car grain train is no exception, and it shows as the leader smokes from a bad turbo as it makes a final push to crest the grade. |
