Spring!! |
| Description: |
We were on our way to breakfast in Gentry, taking Davidson Rd across to Ark 59, so I could check the signal. As we cross the tracks, lo and behold, it;s green. Good, something coming. Seven minutes later, we hear a horn, then a moment later, this southbound grain train rolls into view. The trees are starting to bloom, and it was nice to get one or two in the photo. |

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 |

Interesting reporting mark |
| Description: |
This car was in a southbound AEPX train. The CTRN initials are for the Central of Tennessee Railway and Navigation Co, interestingly, a UP owned mark. I've never seen these initials that I can recall. May be a holdover of a long ago subsidiary, and possibly a trademark thing, since UP has shown a predilection for preserving their reporting marks to maintain the trademarks. |

Storage unit |
| Description: |
Or, how we did things before PODs. This car has been on this property as long as I can remember-Ive lived in town for 16 years-but only recently did the home owner clear off the brush to reveal enough of the car to merit a photo. Hard to tell what road it was from-the paint is faded to almost gone-but it may have been CNW. In a yard along Country Club Rd. |

The boxcar that was being used as a storage shed at this house in Siloam Springs-see photos from Nov 22 and Nov 23- has been pushed onto its side. Any time Ive seen a car toppled like this, its usually a sign that it will be cut up fairly soon. This car was only recently tipped, in the last few weeks. |

Surprise!! |

I beat the grain train to Noel, expecting it to roll on through. I must not have heard anything on the radio about a meet, or missed the transmission. As I got out of the car, I heard a horn to the south. I had to scramble to get this shot of a 127 car 261 train approaching along Butler Creek. |

Cant fight city hall |
| Description: |
But you can take a photo of a train passing it. The grain train rolls past the old KCS station at Anderson, one of a number of them preserved either as museums, or as this one, and the one in Noel, now a municipal building. The area here has been cleaned up quite a bit since I last did this shot some years ago. Looks much nicer. The single unit works well here, too; two would also be manageable. More than that, and you don't get the whole consist. Now just need to get a clean unit leading here. |

| Title: |
As always, it starts with a horn |
| Description: |
We were coming back from lunch, and as we got out of the car, I could hear a train climbing up from Watts. A quick change of shoes-I wear this boot on my right foot now, to combat a condition called charcot-and off I went. I played chase til Gravette, where I was finally able to get ahead far enough to set up a shot. Here is the quarry, the 181 train, having just crossed Dallas St. |
