Last light |
| Description: |
The 262 was really dragging, its 127 cars heavily loaded, and wasnt making good time. I had hoped to get some photos all the way back to Siloam, or at least Gentry, but the light was going fast. I was able to grab a shot just south of Decatur near the MP 218.4 detector just before the shadows took over. |

Now we start back |
| Description: |
One of the ideal situations is getting a train heading out, then after a good chase, getting one heading home. The trip to Noel is an easy one for this, and given the daylight left in the day, a chase to Noel was perfect, though it was slow going for this 127 car train with no DPU, seen here at Kingshighway at Butler Creek with an eastern visitor |

And on Butler Creek. The 262 rolls along the rocks adjacent to the creek as it makes its way south, It will get through Sulphur Springs, then drag up to Gravette. |

Dragging over the top |
| Description: |
After a ten minute wait, the 262 finally made it into Gravette, passing the site of what was once a siding switch for a lumber yard, now removed. The switch-the lumber yard is now a hardware store. |
