SF 5188 at Camden Mo.
SF 4037 at Hardin Mo.
NS 8739 at Hardin Mo.
SP 9612 at Hardin Mo.

Very nice.

Once again, great stuff, and some great consists too!!

A comment about the shots in Hardin. You managed a shot of an NS
train coming off it's own track and crossing over to the north track.
A second NS train came off the Santa Fe and crossed over to the north
track. There must have been some work going on on the south track east
of your location to cause that.

You also got some good views of the south track westbound control signal
at Hardin. This is the three aspect light for those not familiar with
the area. This is also an unusual signal on the Santa Fe and had an
item in the special instructions of the employee timetable regarding it.
It was in this configuration because it is an NS(WAB/NW) signal to an
NS (WAB/NW) track.

Thanks for posting!!
