Cresting the hill |
| Description: |
A southbound TXUX train crawls over the top of the hill as it passes the displayed caboose at Gravette. Note the second unit. It is one of the EMD SD70ACe demonstrators. It will have a good roll from here to Dorsey, then another climb into Decatur. |

| Title: |
Lite power mix |
| Description: |
A light power move rolls north just south of Watts, with a good mix of power, including an international visitor. Also notable is the third unit, KCS 3997, one of the EMDX SD70ACe demonstrators; and KCS 4618, one of the few, but slowly growing number of AC44CW's that are being repainted into the Belle scheme. |

| Title: |
Lite power going away |
| Description: |
Because the heavy trains tend to run south, more power winds up in Heavener than is needed for northbound trains. Thus, sometimes a lite power move is done to get all those DPUs back to Pittsburg for another push over the grades on the subdivision. This is one such move, seen going away as it approaches Watts. |
