Full sun and traffic |
| Description: |
The sun was playing hide and seek this afternoon when I caught a southbound AEPX train at Goodman. I wasnt able to get the lead power in good light, but I did get the DPUs. Now only if I could get the traffic out of the way. |

Lite power mix |
| Description: |
A light power move rolls north just south of Watts, with a good mix of power, including an international visitor. Also notable is the third unit, KCS 3997, one of the EMDX SD70ACe demonstrators; and KCS 4618, one of the few, but slowly growing number of AC44CW's that are being repainted into the Belle scheme. |

Lite power going away |
| Description: |
Because the heavy trains tend to run south, more power winds up in Heavener than is needed for northbound trains. Thus, sometimes a lite power move is done to get all those DPUs back to Pittsburg for another push over the grades on the subdivision. This is one such move, seen going away as it approaches Watts. |

Down by the station |

There are still a few stations on the Heavener Sub, a couple of them museums, a couple now city hall in their communities. The station here is a museum, and on the opposite end, has a Belle painted F 7, 73D. Its not visible in this shot of a northbound empty grain train pulling past the station and signal 216-9 behind a gray SD 70MAC. |

Beach day |
| Description: |
The empty grain train rolls over the Elk River at Ginger Blue, a group of kids enjoying the high 70 degree day watching the 100 cars roll overhead. This was a one way chase, as there was nothing to meet at McElhany, near Neosho. So it goes. |

Just south of town |

Flowers too |
| Description: |
The rocks along the line can be a great photo prop, but the delicate and colorful nature of flowers is also appealing. The grain train rolls past some rocks and flowers as it heads north in this wide angle view. The cliff above the trailing units is better seen in a southbound view about 1/2 mile south. The exposed rock makes a dramatic backdrop and was used by KCS for publicity photos. |

Big rocks |
| Description: |
The line in this part of Missouri follows Butler Creek up to Noel, where it reaches the Elk River. Over the millions of years it has taken for the valleys to form, many rocks have fallen from the cliffsides, among them some very large ones. The empty grain train passes on of them just south of Noel. |

Sometimes you win the light race. Today, I was able to get this northbound M train just as the light was dropping, catching the golden glow. |
