The northbound H train approaches the new overpass at Cheri Whitlock Dr. The bridge replaced a grade crossing that got backed up every time a train passed. Todays northbound is only 60 cars, but motorists will still be glad not to have to wait even for a short train. A pair of KCSM units lead.
The light was about gone when the H train crossed under the Ark 59 bridge just north of Suplhur Springs, but there was enough to make a nice twilight shot along Butler Creek.
Not that the train is going that fast, its just the sun is gone and the remaining light is going. The H train passes the sign at Lanagan. At least we know where we are.
At the yime of year where the sun is low, and the fields have all gone brown, the late day sun really turns everything gold, a wonderful mellow color that is just golden. A scene like this always brings to mind Stings song Fields of Gold. The only way to improve on!that image is to put a train in it, which KCS was kind enough to do, with this 104 car H train behind three Belles. We see the train at the Goodman detector.
