First encounter |
Description: |
I caught up to the CP 2816 at the big curve at Chewie Rd, about four miles south of Watts. I usually chase here in the afternoon; the sun angle is not one Im used to, so dark side for this shot. |

Protect power #1 |
Description: |
CP sent some diesels along with the 2816 as protection in case the steam engine failed to proceed. The first was this SD 70ACU heritage unit, 7013. It was working when it went past. |

City Park |
Description: |
I stuck around at Butler Creek to shoot the coal train, then ran up to get ahead of the 2816. He did some inspecting at Noel, so it was a little while til he showed here, passing the city park at Lanagan. |

Passing the distant signal |
Description: |
The 2816 rolls past the distant signal for McElhany, several miles to the north. He was rolling pretty good here, and made a great show. |

Wide view |
Description: |
A wider angle view at Goodman shows the 2816, tender and water tanks, and the accompanying diesels, as well as another fan shooting video. At right is the railfan chase vehicle, my wifes 2001 Stratus R/T, the five speed. Great running car, though the lack of AC on this 95 degree day made for a challenge. But it will go 90 MPH!! |

Straight at you |
Description: |
After Goodman, I took off, but even a five speed didnt let me catch up by McElhany, so I beat it up onto I 49 to the Gateway exit, knowing there was a long tangent that might make an interesting photo. I really wanted to get the shot from the shoulder of I 49, but standing on an interstate highway for a long period was going to get me unwanted attention from the state troopers, so nixed that. Good thing-there was a hi-rail working, and didnt give up his track and time right away, so waited 45 minutes here. Still, a good shot. |

Slow roll |
Description: |
At Watts, the 2816 took the siding to meet a southbound coal train. Hes rolling up the siding. The slow pace allowed me to get around to the sun side for a wide view. |

Waiting on the freight |
Description: |
While the 2816 was the star of the show today, its important to remember that CPKC still had a railroad to run. Here the steamer is holding at the north end of Watts siding for a southbound TXUX coal train, which will arrive about ten minutes hence behind a BNSF/CP/KCS power set. |

Outstanding in the field |
Description: |
But, unlike a recent shot, no cows today. Still, a pretty view as the Empress approaches the Ark 59S crossing in Gentry. Id not get another shot at him til Gravette, due to idiots pacing the engine along Ark 59, which runs adjacent to the tracks for the six miles to Decatur. I get the appeal of the moving parts of a steam engine at speed, but get 60 seconds of the action, then move on so youre not holding up a couple dozen other fans who want to get ahead of the train, not to mention disinterested locals who just want to go about their day without being caught up in a lot of unnecessary congestion. |

By the team track |
Description: |
The train passes the team track at Gravette, roughly where the station site was. Normally, Id shoot a northbound at Wolf Creek, between North Dorsey and Gravette-its a pretty shot, and easy to get to-but for the idiot pacers between Gentry and Decatur, and also the fact that the sun angle at Wolf Creek would be all wrong. It really doesnt become a sweet shot til mid afternoon. So, Gravette. |

Well, At Least The Paint's Vintage |
Description: |
CPKC's Canadian Pacific FP9 duo needed some help at one point on the southbound leg of the "Final Spike" tour, so heritage-painted SD70ACU 7013 was added. The vintage paint sure helps this brawny workhorse blend in with the train, which is undoubtedly why she was selected. (Zoom shot, BTW, and it wasn't taken from any CPKC property.) |
