Mixed DPUs |
| Description: |
Despite the hordes of Retro Belle units, there is still a sizeable group of gray engines rolling around, mostly GEs, which dont seem to be getting repainted. Heres a gray and a Belle, a repainted SD70ACe from the first order, working as the mid train DPU on this southbound American Electric Power train. |

DPU and a surprise |
| Description: |
The DPU on this AEPX coal train has a surprise, and its not the two repainted AC44CWs. The UP Susan G Komen unit is pushing for the cure on todays coal train, caught by chance at Lake Frances Rd. |

Out in the open |

The coal train has now passed over Davidson Rd, and it will be a little wait for the 125 cars and pair of rear DPUs to pass. |

| Title: |
Empty coal |
| Description: |
Sometimes I can hear trains all the way from Watts, though usually not til they get closer to me in Siloam Springs. I heard what sounded like a northbound climbing the hill, but a quick ride around town yielded no train. I headed up to Davidson Rd to see what was going on, and found a southbound oil train on the crossing. I made a quick turn, and beat it for Watts. The oil train had gone through, no surprise there, but had met this coal train there. I caught it on the Illinois River bridge in cruddy light. Still a pretty shot, though. |
