New DPUs |
| Description: |
One all dressed up, the other still in its skivvies. The EMDs came from the plant already painted, while the GEs arrived in primer, and were painted as they had time. I recall when NS did the same thing, and there were a lot of "undecorated" units rolling around the system in the early years of the millennium. I like the painted power better, but, they all run!! These two are pushing a grain train south at the north end of Stilwell. |

Lite power move |
| Description: |
Sometimes, KCS would run a lite power move northbound, since the DPU's added to coal trains at Pittsburg would accumulate at Heavener. This one is making its way north after passing the Watts yard. |

Grain train DPU |
| Description: |
While he was stopped at Watts, I went back to check the DPU. Unfortunately for the guys going to Bakery Feeds, he didnt clear the crossing. |

Just south of Chewie Rd, the reverse curve along US 59 straightens out, and we see the DPU of the grain train rolling around it at 30 MPH as it trails the 114 car train. |

Long view |
| Description: |
This view is from the old US 59 alignment that was bypassed when the new 4 lane was opened last year. Now I can take the shot without dodging 70 MPH feed trucks!! |

Swinging around |
| Description: |
The DPU on this southbound coal train swings around the tight S curve at MP 238 near Chewie Road. The US 59 widening project a few years ago cleared out the brush here, making this view possible. |

Peaceful scene |
| Description: |
I find a pasture of cows to be somehow quite tranquil-til a noisy train shows up!! I was far enough off that it wasnt quite so loud for me, but the cattle dont seem to be upset by the intrusion. Southbound grain DPU passes a field north of Westville. |

Go for three |
| Description: |
Sometimes youre just out when things get busy. After I got the oil train and grain train at Gentry, I figured the day was probably done. So it was a pleasant surprise to find the southbound just getting to Siloam as I rolled over the Cheri Whitlock bridge. The grain train pulled to the south end of the main, and this northbound empty grain train rolled into the picture. |
