Q train in the hollow |
Description: |
QNLKC rolls north just beyond the end of Dorsey siding, digging into the climb to Gravette. Interesting side note: I worked for JB Hunt at their Lowell Ark headquarters for several years. As everyone knows, they are a huge intermodal user. In the lobby, there is a display of model trains from the major rail partners. These consist of one or two units in HO scale, and some stack cars. This is the unit on the KCS display. The one on the wall is in the Belle scheme. Not so in real life!! |

Y City |
Description: |
Ironically, Y City Rd is not anywhere near the town of that name, which is down near Mena. But, we have an H train rolling south at Y City Rd in the late day sun. Hes still struggling to get his 100 plus cars over the rise just south of Decatur at MP 219. |

Not as pretty |
Description: |
Its still a good shot. The creek next to Mt Olive Rd just north of Dorsey is showing the effects of an active winter. Not so much snow, but a lot of rain, which has washed out all the vegetation from the stream bed. Lets see how green it gets this summer. An H train rolls north. |

Another scheme thats getting really hard to see anymore is the TFM initials on the SD 70Ms, almost all of which are repainted as Belles, or at least KCS, and renumbered. The H train had this unretouched TFM unit as a DPU, seen north of Dorsey. |

Last shot of the day |
Description: |
I followed this train south from Noel, where it had met a northbound H train. This guy had 100 grain loads, and dragged the hill up from Sulphur Springs. In the ten or 12 minues I waited for him, the shadows advanced noticeably. By the time he would make Decatur, the light would be gone. |

I was driving north on Ark 59 and headed through Noel Mo, when I saw hoppers rolling south. I did a quick turn and ran, beating this train to the overpass just inside the Arkansas line. A 125 car TXUX train rolls south along Butler Creek at one of my favorite spots. |

Dodger in the pink |
Description: |
I heard the radio say the dodger was going to Gentry to change ends, so I waited, figuring I could at least see it, if not get a photo. There was still enough light in the sky to work a silhouette. To my great delight, the sky had picked up a swath of pink from the now departed sun hitting a cloud, giving this unusual scene. Three units have 11 cars in tow. |

Old power, new life |
Description: |
Once a princess, now a hard working old girl, this former Santa Fe Warbonnet SD 75I is now part of the PRLX lease fleet. A number of these units have turned up on KCS lately, mostly in bulk commodity service. I remember when these were the queens of the high iron, rolling big fast trains across the Transcon. Hard to believe that was over 20 years ago. Theyre still on the main, just not making the 70 MPH they used to, a testament to the longevity of EMDs engineering. This was on a northbound at CP Flint Creek, just picked up from its duty as a DPU on an AEPX coal train, now in the plant. |

Follow the flag |
Description: |
Not the one youre thinking of-no Wabash flag, or even the NS heritage unit-here. A southbound TXUX coal train passes the park in downtown Gravette, where the US and Arkansas flags proudly fly. |

Shot it anyway |
Description: |
By the time I got down to Dorsey, the light was below the hill, but I heard this 80 car northbound empty grain train blowing for Mt Olive Rd. I put the camera on the sports setting and took the photo anyway. Not too bad, considering. Im looking forward to the longer days of summer, when its light at 6 PM. |

Wide view, lots of power |
Description: |
Sometimes KCS will run extra units on an empty train to balance the power used as DPUs, since they tend to accumulate in Heavener after a run down from Pittsburg, as theyre not really needed for northbounds. Thus, this empty AEPX train has seven units up front, and a BNSF Grinstein SD 70MAC on the rear just for good measure. |
