Welcome back |
| Description: |
The KCS Heavener Sub was closed for three days following a 10" rain event that undercut the track for about a half mile north of the Illinois River, and about 1/4 mile south of the bridge, including inundating the north end of Watts siding. This H train is the first one I saw going north, the line now open. Its supposed to rain again this week, but less than 2" this time. Keeping our fingers crossed. |

First train |
| Description: |
At least, the first one I saw. Most of the washout repair looked like it was done the previous day, though they were still tamping and surfacing when I was in Watts. Now its Tuesday evening, and this 131 car H train is rolling north across Lincoln Av at 1900. There may have been others during the day, I just did not see them. Its good to see trains running again. Amazing how much the track crews accomplished in a short time. Bringing up the rear is KCS 4034 as distributed power. |

Lucky catch |
| Description: |
We were coming back from Bentonville, taking the scenic route for a chage, which took us past the airport and into Gentry. Just for a laugh, I drove over the KCS on the bridge there, to see this southbound approaching. I beat him to Siloam, catching him here at Country Club Rd passing the Cobb-Vantress feed mill. |

Caught him |
| Description: |
The grain train I saw at Gentry was about to pass under the Ark 12 bridge there, so it was a race to get to Davidson Rd for the shot The 105 cars meant a drag up the hill from Sleepy Hollow, and I beat him by enough to set up for this shot. |
