Eight Alcos!! |
| Description: |
The Monett Turn ran at night during the late 90s, getting out of Springdale in the late evening, and sometimes returning after daylight in the longer days of summer. I was a driver for JB Hunt then, and would occasionally come through our Lowell Ark terminal, which was bisected by the line. Id always park on the track side of the building. It was a thrill to watch the turn gaining speed as it headed north around midnight, usually behind 3 to 5 Alcos. This day in June 1999, it returned around 0800 with EIGHT!! What a sound!! |

Wintry scene |
| Description: |
The Monett Turn passes a snowy field and bare tree in this wintry scene approaching Gateway. Typical of the region, when snow falls, its not much and doesnt stay long. In a couple of days this scene will be just another drab winter day. |

Baling hay |
| Description: |
The northbound Monett Turn usually works at Gateway, where there is a sand pit. The other endeavor there is producing hay. The railroad does not participate in moves of this product-to my knowledge-but it does go past a lot of it. |

Squealer |
| Description: |
The southbound train has picked up its cars from BNSF and now takes the connecting track from the yard to the A&M main, flanges squealing as the train holds to the 10 MPH speed restriction around the curve. Its a great way to start. The first several miles of the trip are all uphill. |

Starting the climb |

The Monett Turn has come around the yard connection and is now on the main. Still ahead is the climb to Purdy, seven miles ahead, though it will be less of an effort with this short 25 car train. MP 283, at far right, is mileage from St Louis. |
