Snaking through the snow |
| Description: |
A good photo location is alongside Ark 59, just north of where it passes under Ark 102. Theres a nice long S curve there thats reasonably open, and makes a good morning shot. I was able to catch this southbound grain train a bit later in the day, the light working due to the overcast. The snow helped, and this shot made a good Christmas card. |

Belles in the snow |
| Description: |
We were out on this snowy day chasing-which we did in NY all the time, since it snowed A LOT there, so no big deal to go out in the little bit of snow we get in Arkansas. One of the prizes that day was this southbound we caught near Sulphur Springs behind a pair of new Belles, which was a big deal at the time. |

Northbound |
| Description: |
The northbound train was going to have a better sun angle at Davidson Rd, so I went up there to shoot him, along with a big tree that was starting to leaf out. He has 95 empty grain hoppers slowly making their way toward Gentry |

Spring leaves |
| Description: |
A northbound empty grain train approaches Davidson Rd with 95 empty hoppers, passing an oak that is still filling out, so far not enough to really obstruct the second unit. |

Always a good shot in the afternoon, the Q train rolls along Wolf Creek in the dip between Decatur and Gravette, its two units easily handling the 52 cars and two stack platforms in tow. |

Flagged |

The northbound Q train rolls across Main St in Gentry, framed by several of the American flags that are on each light pole on the street. The trailing unit, a bit dirtier than the leader, doesn't show up as well. |

Tunnel of trees |
| Description: |
When I lived in the northeast, this was a pervasive problem: rail lines were so long established that the trees had, over many years, grown up around them, making photography a challenge. So it is here as well, as this northbound Q train rolls in a long, shaded trough, the trees having grown up over the years. |

Low water crossing |
| Description: |
This northbound Q train rolls along Butler Creek, crossing Kings Highway. This past spring, the road here was almost impassible due to water over the road, and was closed for a while. Now wed pay for rain. |

M train |
| Description: |
We had gone up to drop some stuff off at the kids house in Gentry, and decided to take a ride out through the countryside to check out some places that may have had some changes in the last six months or so. Our wanderings had us rolling across the KCS in Decatur just as a northbound was approaching the crossing there. The shadows prevented a good shot, but I thought if I could beat him to Gravette, there might be a chance before the light went. Its kinda dappled, but I got the northbound M SHKC and 58 cars, as it crossed Dallas St. |
