K&O overtime
Title:  K&O overtime
Description:  I spent 3 hours setting up this shot. It is unusual for the fact K&O seldom works on Sunday. The call came over the radio the crew wanted to enter the Newton rail yard, pick up a cut of cars, and head back to McPherson. I checked the time, checked the weather, and checked the water in the creek. When I got to the location 10 minutes ahead of time, I set up my camera and got in the best location to take advantage of the reflection off the water. The K&O train whistle sounded as it approached giving me notice to lock my view finder on the spot. Just as the engine emerged from the trees, a gust of wind came up and rippled the water, ruining my perfect shot.

Winter bridge
Title:  Winter bridge
Description:  I was listening to my RR scanner around 4PM when I heard the call from the K&O crew requesting authority to enter main one for eastward movement. It meant I normally had 10 minutes to get in position for this shot, but the 3 mph train didnt show up until 4:45PM. By then, the setting sun was not very favorable.

K&O stop
Title:  K&O stop
Description:  I overheard the crew radio for a move out of the Newton yard to head north. I had about 15 minutes to get in position and take this shot. But a funny thing happened as they approached my location. They stopped in the shade of some trees. It seemed too early to quit, so I stood in my spot waiting for their move. After about 20 minutes, they uncoupled from the train and moved the motors into the sunlight where I took this photo, but my standing there apparently had made the crew nervous. One gentleman walked over and asked what I was doing, "Are you from the FRA? In this day you never know." I told him, "This is my hobby!" "Oh, you're a phoamer!" He seemed relieved and then told me their plans which was to quit and move some cars in Hesston tomorrow. I wish I had gotten his name.
