DPU and pipes |
| Description: |
The DPU on this 125 car loaded TXUX train rolls out from under the US 412 overpass, and past KCS customer Pipelife Jetstream, which receives cars of plastic pellets, which they use to make varying sizes of PVC pipe. They get a switch every day. The 3932 is a recently renumbered TFM unit, relettered and moved from the 1600's to the 3900's, keeping its last two digits. As I post this in July 2016, there are still a few of these units rolling around in TFM paint. |

M at Y City |
| Description: |
This southbound M train behind a set of TFM/KCS SD70s rolls into the late day sun as it passes Y City Rd(don't know the origin of that. There is a Y City in southern Arkansas, but it's not on the KCS) with 57 freight and 28 stack platforms. |

Water fun |
| Description: |
What kind depends on your outlook. The folks in the river are largely oblivious to the train overhead, just happy for a day off work to cool off in the river. For the lunatic fans, the sight of this M train crossing the Elk River is the fun part. |

Good hustle |
| Description: |
Or the M train must have had an approach at the signal just south of Davidson Rd, since I usually could not get the shot there and beat the train to this spot. Today I got lucky, and was able to get both shots. We see the M train passing the Cobb feed mill. |

Under the bluff |
| Description: |
The bluff just south of Noel was a popular spot for KCS publicity photos, used the advertise their passenger trains back in the day. Its still a good location, though the rocks are somewhat overgrown all these years later. An M train rolls its 57 freight and 28 stack platforms through the scenic view. |

Wide view |
| Description: |
Funny how the angle makes such a difference. This wide view emphasizes the train more than the scenery, but the focal point of the rocks is not lost. Still scenic, different look at this M train. |
