Pulling hard
Title:  Pulling hard
Description:  This 103 car H train rolls around the curve into the north end of Stilwell, its power pulling hard to keep things rolling, as the three trailing units are shut down, power from the Dodger being taken to Heavener for servicing over the weekend.

No feed for these horses
Title:  No feed for these horses
Description:  A southbound grain train rolls past Shockeys farm south of Watts, its sign advertising their quarter horses. The sign is down while US 59 is widened to four lanes. Hopefully it goes back up when the project is complete in a couple of months. It made a nice photo prop.

Approaching town
Title:  Approaching town
Description:  The southbound grain train rolls around the curve as it hits the tangent through Stilwell. This shot is not possible now(Sep 2016) due to the shrubbery growing big enough to obscure the trains.

Repaint
Title:  Repaint
Description:  For some reason, the EMDs seem to be getting repainted faster than the GEs. Ive seen quite a few of the SD 70Ms and even some of the original order of SD 70ACes in the Belle scheme, but not many GEs. It was a surprise, then, to find this redone 4597 trailing on a northbound empty AEPX train.
