DPUs with a surprise |
| Description: |
The DPU on the southbound has a BNSF unit, not unusual, but also a pair of KCS 5000 series ET44AHs, not so common to see a pair of them pushing a coal train. |

Lucky catch |
| Description: |
We had gone out for a drive to see the snow here in Arkansas and Oklahoma-funny, because Id never have done that in New York, but here its something of a novelty-and were coming north on US 59 from Westville, when I saw a headlight coming toward me just south of Watts. I was able to set up at the curve just south of Chewie Rd-not the new sign, right at the best point in the curve-and get a couple of shots of this southbound grain train. |

The grain train has moved into the curve, as we see in this wider view, its 100 cars snaking along US 59. |

Almost all of these trains get a DPU these days, and this one is no exception. ET 44AH is pushing today on the rear of a train that had |

Going for bagels |
| Description: |
I had called down to Pour Jons for a couple of bagels this morning, and headed for the shop when they texted me. As I came up over the US 412 overpass, I noted a train moving south over Lincoln St. I made a quick turn onto Kenwood, to see if the head end was there already. No, but there was what looked like MOW equipment in the siding. I did a quick run onto US 412, getting this shot from the bridge of a southbound 262. The train in the siding?? A northbound military extra. |
