Gray power, gray day
Title:  Gray power, gray day
Description:  A light power move has cleared Dorsey siding and is about to cross Mt Olive Rd just south of Gravette. At this time, Belles were still something of a novelty, and gray units were everywhere. The other end of this move would have a brighter look.

Belle hop
Title:  Belle hop
Description:  In 2007, KCS bought a fleet of covered hoppers for grain service, all painted in a variation of the "Belle" scheme on their new diesels. For a while, these train sets ran as units, and it was common to see a solid 100 car train of these new cars. Heres one rolling south with 59 loads just south of Decatur.

Good score
Title:  Good score
Description:  Not on the soccer field. This 114 car H train has what has become a common event, a Belle leader. The score is the trailing unit, an SD 50. These units are often seen on work trains, but now only rarely on freight. This was quite a catch.
