Lite power north
Title:  Lite power north
Description:  I finally made it to the recycle station Thursday around 1300. No sooner than I pulled up to the roll offs, the radio went off. A northbound UP unit was calling the signal at South Siloam Springs. AEPX empty coal train, I thought, since they typically get UP power. It turned out to be a seven unit lite power move. I went over to the team track, since that would likely be the bewst lighting I could manage at that time of daY.

On the way with the new partner
Title:  On the way with the new partner
Description:  The trailing unit of the lite power move rolls between the signals, a merger partner CP unit taking the rear position. Of these diesels, this is the second visit(at least) of NS 8068, which I caught on an empty AEPX train earlier in the week.
