| Title: |
Belle pushing |
| Description: |
The use of a single unit on coal trains was not typical, as they usually got a total of five units over the Heavener Sub. At this time, the practice was to put a pair of DPUs about 85 cars deep in the train, with one on the rear, a 2x2x1 arrangement. This is the "1", an SD 70ACe bringing up the rear on this 125 car AEPX train. |

Last chance |
| Description: |
The light was about gone when the H train crossed under the Ark 59 bridge just north of Suplhur Springs, but there was enough to make a nice twilight shot along Butler Creek. |

Fields of gold |
| Description: |
At the time of year where the sun is low, and the fields have all gone brown, the late day sun really turns everything gold, a wonderful mellow color that is just golden. A scene like this always brings to mind Stings song Fields of Gold. The only way to improve on that image is to put a train in it, which KCS was kind enough to do, with this 104 car H train behind three Belles. We see the train at the Goodman detector. |
