DPUs on the move |
| Description: |
The DPUs from both trains meet just north of the Ark 12 overpass. The empty trains a lot of times get only one unit, and sometimes dont get any, with all the power up front. The current practice on loaded trains is to run them 2x3 on the Heavener Sub, so we have a pair of KCS units tacked on behind the BNSF DPU that came from Wyoming. |

At the park |
| Description: |
I got out of Noel quickly, wanting to check the shot at Ginger Blue. The sun wasnt far enough around to light the west side of the bridge, so I bagged that and headed for Anderson. I was able to get this shot of the train passing the old station, now city hall, and the park adjacent. Good place to stop with the kids. |

Even train crews play Pokemon Go |
| Description: |
After I got the southbound at Siloam, I followed the empty TXUX train north, catching him here from the Ark 12 overpass in Gentry as he is about to capture Bulbasaur. |

Rhonda Rd |
| Description: |
Most of the time, when I come up this far, I shoot at Goodman if the sun is workable, or at McElhany, since its easy to reach and often there are meets there. Just south of McElhany is Rhonda Rd, which it turns out has a pretty good open shot of a northbound. So I learned a new place today. |

Down in the hollow |
| Description: |
The next place I was able to get a good shot of the empty coal train was between Dorsey and Gravette, a good spot, but you have to hustle to get there, since northbounds are mostly emtpy trains, and move right along. Here he comes out of the shadows about to cross Mt Olive Rd. |
