Nice looking DPUs
Title:  Nice looking DPUs
Description:  A three unit set of DPUs takes the rear of the H train past the feel mill. This train had more power than Ive seen in a long time. It had picked up the local power at Watts for the trip to Heavener, giving it six units on the lead, and these three behind. I think theyll make it!!

Big pushing
Title:  Big pushing
Description:  The DPU on the grain train has three units, more that up front. I occasionally wonder if this creates an issues wheo working a train over an up and down profile. The two SD70MAC's are ex TFM units, now repainted into the Belle scheme.

Valley view
Title:  Valley view
Description:  The H train rolls north of Westville as seen from the part of old US 59 that was bypassed when the new 4 lane was built. Its a lot easier to take this shot now that you dont have cars and trucks blowing past you at 70 MPH.
