Bingo!! |
| Description: |
This is what wed been waiting for all day. A friend had come down from Chicago to check out the KCS, and we were looking for a solid set of Belles, which was something of a novelty at the time. Finally, this 84 car H train showed behind a pair of them. We were down at Elm St, south of town. The crossing sits in the middle of an S curve. The shot of a southbound isnt all that great, due to a hill on the inside of the curve, but the northbound shot is pretty good, especially early in the day. |

Keeping pace |
| Description: |
I followed the PAKC for a good distance, catching it in gathering late day gloom along MO 59 between Lanagan and Anderson, its 84 cars stretched out along the road. |

Mid train Belles |
| Description: |
At the time, KCS added a pair of units at Pittsburg for the trip over the Heavener Sub, which has a lot of up and down in its profile. A pair of units was usually spotted about 85 cars deep in the train. Here is a pair of new units performing this duty on a TXUX train coming into Stilwell. |

Mexican in the snow |
| Description: |
Not the usual situation youd expect for a unit more accustomed to the deserts of Mexico. This TFM unit has an empty grain train down in the hollow north of Dorsey after a post Christmas dusting. |

Not exactly dashing |
| Description: |
But getting through the snowy Missouri landscape nonetheless. An empty northbound grain train rolls into Lanagan, seen from the Route EE overpass. |
