"New" power |
| Description: |
We were returning from a trip to Ohio, and came through Monett in the early afternoon. Despite the dismal weather, we decided to take a ride downtown to see if the Monett Turn was there. Turned out it was, and we got a few shots. To my surprise, this ex KCS SD70ACe, from the first order, had moved over to its neighbor, and is now A&M 73, still in its original colors. As much as I enjoy the Belle scheme, I was glad this one was trailing. Note the switch stand with the "D" on it, denoting a derail. |

Working the yard |
| Description: |
The full consist switches its train prior to heading south to Springdale Ark. We had other things to do, and following the train wasnt in the cards today. The weather was dismal, rain on and off, and, as you can see, heavy overcast. On a sunny day, not taking chase would have been a much harder choice. There are still a good number of Alcos on the roster, serving on locals around the railroad, mostly in northwest Arkansas and the Fort Smith area, as well as the excursions, which remain popular. |
