Slowing Way Down In Old Monroe
Title:  Slowing Way Down In Old Monroe
Description:  This was probably the easiest train I have ever photographed. It literally crawled by me at a whopping 15 mph and by the time the DPU passed me it was barely doing 5 mph.

DPU Again
Title:  DPU Again

DPU Again at Gibbs, Mo
Title:  DPU Again at Gibbs, Mo
Description:  After the DPU cleared Dalbow Road, I continued my quest to see why they were crawling down the line. I had made it near Gibbs, Mo. and they were letting the coal train before them enter the UE Coal Power Plant, since the speed restriction for the plants track is 10 mph, it explains their slow pace.

Off In The Distance
Title:  Off In The Distance
Description:  Just to the left of 9185 you can see the siding located at Gibbs. The siding is rather small so usually only freight or ore trains stop there. Plus now I know my rail fanning day will continue.

BEST DAY EVER!
Title:  BEST DAY EVER!
Description:  I got a call from a friend who said there was a freight train stopped in Old Monroe to repair a busted knuckle and he said there where 5 loco's on the train. Then he said what are these things that look like boats? I knew what he meant....Wind Turbines. Amazingly there are 7 heavy duty flat cars each with 2 turbines on them.
