South end power
Title:  South end power
Description:  The train operates pull-pull, making it much easier to change direction at the end of the run. Since they run on the M&NA at the discretion of their dispatcher, the train can go either way from Branson, depending on traffic, making this arrangement especially helpful. The power on the south end is a GP 30, probably the only place in America you can ride behind one.
