Last light |
| Description: |
A northbound empty grain train catches the last rays of sun as it rolls over the top of the hill at Gravette. Two of the units, leader 3936, formerly TFM 1636, and trailing unit 4000, the SD70ACe class unit, are repaints into the Belle scheme. |

Big pushing |
| Description: |
The DPU on the grain train has three units, more that up front. I occasionally wonder if this creates any issues when working a train over an up and down profile. The two SD70MAC's are ex TFM units, now repainted into the Belle scheme. |

| Title: |
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. |
