| Title: |
Lucky catch |
| Description: |
We were headed to lunch at the Wooden Spoon in Gentry, and saw this train stretched through the south siding switch there. A quick run up to the head end yielded this shot of an empty grain move with seven units and 100 covered hoppers. More and more, northbound grain and coal trains are being used to ferry excess power back north, resulting in these monster power consists, where in the past, after enough diesels were accumulated at Heavener and Shreveport, a lite power move would run. This undoubtedly makes for fewer crew starts, but doesn't make for good photos most of the time-all power, very little, if any, train. One of the units, CP 9781, the last of the set, went south the previous day on a grain train. |
