Waiting
Title:  Waiting
Description:  I was headed up to McElhany, near Neosho, to catch the southbound run of CP 2816, and caught this northbound empty grain train at Gentry. Hes waiting there for a southbound to give him the trailing UP unit, as that train is having issues with his power. Id normally have hung around to watch that effort, but wanted to be in place for the steam train, so grabbed this flowery shot and moved on. Id encounter this train again in Missouri.
