Three Belles |
| Description: |
What I have found intriguing about the repaint program on KCS is that the local power, and even some switchers, have mostly been painted into the Belle scheme, a lot of them long ago. I rarely encounter a gray GP 38 or 40 much-though there was one on the dodger earlier this week. Todays dodger has a Belle trio as it makes its way onto the main and heads for Decatur. |

Dragging the hill |
| Description: |
The profile on the Heavener Sub has a lot of up and down, though most of it is unremarked-Rich Mountain farther south gets all the attention, but there are some good pulls here, too. Such is the case here at Davidson Rd north of Siloam, where the tracks are coming out of long dip. The pull is taxing the three four motor units as they lug 66 cars south to Watts. |
