Ten minutes too late |
Description: |
I had gone up to Gentry to drop off some food at my sons house, and saw a headlight as I crossed the tracks in town. I ran up toward the McKee plant, to find the dodger was just getting his train back together to head south. Ive wanted to catch him working here, with the company sign and the train together. It will have to be another day. |

Feeding time |
Description: |
I took off from McKee Foods before the train started, and set up so I could get this shot of him rolling his dozen cars past the Curran Feed Store downtown. Across the tracks is another Gentry fixture, The Chicken Coop, a long time flea market. |

CSX had a bunch of these AC44CWs come off lease, and they are now part of the Precision Leasing fleet. There have been quite a few on the KCS lately. Seems like every train has one. |

Morning shot |
Description: |
Gravette can be a challenge to shoot in, since the angle is sometimes difficult. This morning shot is fairly wide open and unobstructed, though the leader is nose dark. All in all, an OK view, and you can get right back rolling if youre chasing. |

A little push |
Description: |
The empty AEPX train had a DPU. I imagine these improve train handling over the subdivision, but the extra power is probably not needed on an empty train. |

Old switch stand |
Description: |
A relatively recent repaint-of a 20 plus year old unit-passes a relic of the past, a switch stand that once controlled a switch for a local business. In a quirk of fate, this was a second meeting for me with this engine. I had shot it back in March of 2005, leading NS 13T at Binghamton NY. It was in Grinstein Green in those days. Look for it in the NS in the Southern Tier album. |

South end |
Description: |
The obvious place to see trains in Gravette is downtown, where the tracks come up next to Ark 59. A few blocks south, where Dallas St crosses, there were a couple of sidings. A northbound empty coal train rolls 126 cars past one of the two switch stands still in place here, where rail customers are long gone. |

Not the usual view |
Description: |
The light changes in the winter, as we all know. Its lower, and the sun takes a different track across the sky. I usually shoot this scene from the other side of the tracks, as by this time of day, the sun has moved farther along. Im looking at an empty oil train heading back to KC, and on to the frozen north, not that you can tell the difference, judging by the snow. |

In the gloaming |
Description: |
A northbound empty AEPX train rolls into Gravette as the light fades. I followed him to Noel, really farther than I should have given the light. |

Surprise DPU |
Description: |
Sixty six cars back in the train, after the freight, and ahead of the 15 two unit autoracks and 15 stack platforms was this little surprise. Not the DPU itself so much-theyre fairly common on most trains, and the Q trains typically get them mid train like this, but that its a unit that was once a common sight, and now is not seen much. The DPU today was an SD 70MAC, looking good in the snow. |

Unusual scene |
Description: |
We don't get much snow here, most years less than a foot for the whole season. The week before I got this show of Q KCNL passing the cemetery at CP Flint Creek we had around 10", and it was cold, down to -12 three nights earlier. The up side was, when the trains ran, it made for a good photo. A four unit set rolls south with 66 freight, a DPU, followed by 16 two unit auto racks, and 15 stack platforms. |

Almost a roster shot |
Description: |
This was the second unit on a southbound Q train. Most of the Progress Rail power Ive seen on the KCS has been in their yellow and white scheme. Some recent appearances have been in this dark blue scheme. |
