Morning northbound |
| Description: |
I usually take my recycling up on Saturday morning. The transfer station is conveniently located adjacent to the KCS. Often I see trains while there-just good timing I guess!! Heres a northbound I caught one day. |

Chamber of Commerce |
| Description: |
This shot of a TXUX train from the US 412 overpass shows two of Siloams more prominent businesses, Allen Canning, who packs, among other things, Popeye spinach, and DMT Transport, a locally based long haul truckload carrier. Now if only the leader was a KCS unit, wed have a trifecta of Siloam Springs related business. |

Sneaking up |
| Description: |
As the dodger puts his train into the yard, the southbound Q train rolls down the main behind him. The Q train will have a surprise, which well see once the dodger clears, and the Q train fixes a software problem on the lead unit. Remember when fixing a diesel issue was just resetting a relay?? |

Q train surprise |
| Description: |
The dodger got his train put in the yard, and the Q train was having an issue with his lead unit. I went south a half mile or so to get him on the big curve near MP 237. As he came around, the second unit caught my eye: KCS 4006, the Support the Troops engine. |
