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. |

Just dropped |
| Description: |
The road power from the Monett Turn has just dropped its train at Springdale, and will be heading to the engine house. Lead unit 62 was named "George Hockaday" for the famed Alco employee who kept many an Alco running long after the company quit in October 1969. In the 1980's and 90's, when I lived in Binghamton NY, I would occasionally encounter him while out chasing on the D&H, first under Guilford, then in CP hands. He was a real gentleman. |

Same train, different day |
| Description: |
The Monett Turn rolls north through Gateway, and will shortly stop to work the sand pit north of town. I was here a couple of weeks ago, same thing-note the sand cars behind the power. Good to have a consistent level of business from reliable shippers. |

Headed into town |
| Description: |
After working the sand pit at Gateway, the train rolls north toward Monett. The tracks swing away from MO 37 at several locations, this being one of them, at the south end of Seligman. Hell head through downtown while the road will skirt town to the east, resuming its side by side path in a mile or so. |

Chasing along |
| Description: |
The tracks run along MO 37, in some places very close, in some a little farther away. Here between Seligman and Washburn, theyre only a few feet apart most of the way. It makes for a good chase. Train speeds are in the 40-plus range, and it can be a challenge keeping up. |
