| Title: |
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. |

| Title: |
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. |

| 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 |
| 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. |
