Pair of fallen flags
Title:  Pair of fallen flags
Description:  As the CPKC regime takes over, the DM&E flag falls even farther. There are still quite a few of these covered hoppers around, as we see on this empty grain move just north of Dorsey siding. Consecutive numbers, too!!

Fairly clean
Title:  Fairly clean
Description:  Given the pervasiveness of graffiti on trains these days, its something of a novelty to see a relatively clean car. This one was northbound on a 148 car empty train.

Almost 20 years old
Title:  Almost 20 years old
Description:  KCS acquired a large group of these cars painted in the "Retro Belle" scheme in 2007, around the same time as Mike Haverty introduced the Belle scheme on new locomotives. They were intended to run together, which they did for a while. After a while, the Retro Belle cars became free runners, and now you rarely see them in any kind of unit train. This one was solo on a southbound at Davidson Rd, just north of Siloam Springs
