Normally, engineers would dim their headlights for a running meet, but my presence at a crossing
probably required the UP train to keep its lights on bright.

Morning light at Buist Road in Fleming, Missouri.

@jmadhavadas Indeed! The KCS shop forces at Shreveport, Louisiana, did a real nice job on it. That’s a lot of complicated masking and painting.

@Maersk.146 Have the flood waters receded ? Nice pics
avatar

@jmadhavadas Thanks! Water is receding slowly, but this scene is much the same two days later. Flat fields will retain ponds of water for many more days and even weeks. Main highway following tracks here was flooded, requiring a 25-mile detour to get around.
