Belle on the Rock
Title:  Belle on the Rock
Description:  Whats left of it....the DPU on the southbound H train sits on the AOK crossing, once the Rocks Choctaw route. Signals still protect the crossings on both routes, though I have to admit the signal on the Rock has more aesthetic appeal.

Grain empties
Title:  Grain empties
Description:  An 81 car northbound train of covered hoppers rolls toward Kansas City and more corn. The Belle scheme was making serious inroads to the fleet at this time, but most of the existing fleet was still gray. Seemed ever time I'd see a train with Belles, there would be a gray unit leading. It's only in the last two years or so that the AC44's have been getting repainted, while it seems most of the SD 70's have been done.
