Eight Alcos!!
Title:  Eight Alcos!!
Description:  The Monett Turn ran at night during the late 90s, getting out of Springdale in the late evening, and sometimes returning after daylight in the longer days of summer. I was a driver for JB Hunt then, and would occasionally come through our Lowell Ark terminal, which was bisected by the line. Id always park on the track side of the building. It was a thrill to watch the turn gaining speed as it headed north around midnight, usually behind 3 to 5 Alcos. This day in June 1999, it returned around 0800 with EIGHT!! What a sound!!
