and I headed straight into the shining sun |
| Description: |
The 2880 is well into Run 7 or 8 to make the 10mph track speed into Artesia yard only to have to set and wait and wait some more. The sun was blazing this late Febuary evening, looking more like a late October evening. |

Try to set the night on FIRE! |
| Description: |
My friend Derrick and Phillip Wages bring the CAGY Xtra West into KCS' yard at Artesia under a setting sun. Now I see what people mean when they say sometimes the setting sun makes the sky appear to be on fire. |

LXVR 2880 |
| Description: |
Moving forward at Don Knotts strength (about 5 mph), the 2880 is on her way to Artesia but as typical with some things, theres always a snag. The trip also includes making set outs for the KCS and at the Port of Columbus. The 80 is rounding the curve where the C&G main ends and is about to hit KCS iron. |

With her train cut off to the left on the CAGY main, the 80 shoves a cut of 4 back to the set out for the KCS. After dropping these, she'll grab the train from the C&G main and head west to Artesia down the KCS. |

LXVR 2880 |
| Description: |
The 80 shoves her cut of 4 to the KCS at C&G Junction (MP. 14.5) before continuing west to Artesia down the KCS. The KCS Tuscaloosa Sub is the line you see to your immediate left. The building you see off in the distance is the old Seminole Clothing Company. I wouldn't doubt that at one time that they weren't a customer of the lines original owner, the M&O or GM&O. This line from MP. 17 onwards to Tuscaloosa and Brookwood, Alabama is leased to and operated by Watco's Alabama. |

Walking After Midnight |
| Description: |
Just after midnight, the Columbus switcher pauses for a few moments after getting a track warrant from the KCS to head out to the steel mill with 8718 and 1002 having the honors. It was nice to see 2 units in fairly matching paint banging them around together, doesn't happen often on this line. |

Ever Have The Feeling You Are Being Watched? |
| Description: |
As I'm getting ready to get my pics of the 2880 heading to Artesia, KCS personel drove by and strained their necks then turned around to do it again. Suprisingly I wasn't run off. Artesia was once railfan friendly but after KCS came to town that pretty much came to an end. |
