Picking up a stray
Title:  Picking up a stray
Description:  The car back on the house track had been set off for some reason, probably a defect that needed repair. The dodger was to pick it up, but whatever reason it was there apparently kept it there, as they didnt take it in the end. View is from the Ark 12 overpass.

McKee Foods
Title:  McKee Foods
Description:  Youve probably heard of them, except not likely by this name. They make those Little Debbie cakes and cookies that you find just about everywhere. One of their plants is here in Gentry, and a KCS customer for inbound freight, which consists of vegetable oil and flour. The dodger switches the plant, a full set of Belles doing the honors.
