Open for a northbound |
| Description: |
Shooting a northbound is always tricky on a north-south oriented line, as this shot in the late afternoon at Gravette shows. Since then-now ten years, has it really been that long since I left the frozen wasteland of NY state??-some of the foliage has grown up here, making this shot problematic. The power is still with us though. |

M at Y City |
| Description: |
This southbound M train behind a set of TFM/KCS SD70s rolls into the late day sun as it passes Y City Rd(don't know the origin of that. There is a Y City in southern Arkansas, but it's not on the KCS) with 57 freight and 28 stack platforms. |

Water fun |
| Description: |
What kind depends on your outlook. The folks in the river are largely oblivious to the train overhead, just happy for a day off work to cool off in the river. For the lunatic fans, the sight of this M train crossing the Elk River is the fun part. |

Good hustle |
| Description: |
Or the M train must have had an approach at the signal just south of Davidson Rd, since I usually could not get the shot there and beat the train to this spot. Today I got lucky, and was able to get both shots. We see the M train passing the Cobb feed mill. |

Under the bluff |
| Description: |
The bluff just south of Noel was a popular spot for KCS publicity photos, used the advertise their passenger trains back in the day. Its still a good location, though the rocks are somewhat overgrown all these years later. An M train rolls its 57 freight and 28 stack platforms through the scenic view. |

Wide view |
| Description: |
Funny how the angle makes such a difference. This wide view emphasizes the train more than the scenery, but the focal point of the rocks is not lost. Still scenic, different look at this M train. |
