Rolling them back |
| Description: |
A pair of gray AC44s roll 75 empty cars north a few miles south of Decatur. I worked for JB Hunt at the time, who is a big user of intermodal. All their rail partners have contributed models, which are displayed in the main lobby. The KCS model has this unit, 4592, leading a set of stack cars. Its painted in the Belle scheme. In a case of art not imitating life, the prototype, seen here, is still gray. |

Too much power |
| Description: |
This northbound Q train approaching the signal at Davidson Rd had nine units. I never was able to see all the power in one shot. |

Q train in the hollow |
| Description: |
QNLKC rolls north just beyond the end of Dorsey siding, digging into the climb to Gravette. Interesting side note: I worked for JB Hunt at their Lowell Ark headquarters for several years. As everyone knows, they are a huge intermodal user. In the lobby, there is a display of model trains from the major rail partners. These consist of one or two units in HO scale, and some stack cars. This is the unit on the KCS display. The one on the wall is in the Belle scheme. Not so in real life!! |
