Dodger under a cloud
Title:  Dodger under a cloud
Description:  The Watts Dodger is returning to its home base in Watts after working north for the afternoon, rolling out from under a tall storm cloud as it hustles 20 cars back to Watts. The crew in the empty coal train cooling its heels in the siding is glad to see them, as they can now resume their progress north.

Around the curve
Title:  Around the curve
Description:  The M train has picked up 24 cars along with the dodger power, and pulls around the curve toward MP 237 to clear the interlocking at South Watts to get back to his train. The late afternoon sun glints off the four axle power KCS uses on locals. Theyve acquired quite a few GEs as road power in the last 20 years. As I look at the GPs used for locals, I have to wonder what a KCS four motor GE might look like, a B 23-7, say.
