Morning view |
| Description: |
I dont get out in the morning much-just not my time of day-but I was out this day and caught a southbound 47 car H train a few miles north of Westville, near a location the railroad calls Hudson. Three local units are behind the road power, en route to Heavener for servicing. Its a nice view, better than the west side of the tracks. Have to do this more. |

Climbing into town |
| Description: |
The southbound H train has come around the curve at the north end of Stilwell, and is now climbing the short grade to the north end of the siding. Its not too much of a struggle with todays short 47 car train. The three trailing units are en route to Heavener for servicing, and are not on line. |

Speeding toward Kenwood |
| Description: |
Somehow I beat the dodger to Kenwood St in Siloam Springs-no mean feat, the traffic in Siloam that time of day is awful, and the lights are not set up so you can make them-getting there just enough ahead of him to get this shot as he approached the crossing. The lighting was wonderful. |

Looking like new |
| Description: |
A forty year old GP 38 can look pretty good in a new coat of paint, as this one does here on the Dodger. Note the lack of dynamic brakes. Most roads got them, a few(LIRR among them, I saw all of them in a previous life) did not. Most of the KCS 38s have them, so it was sort of a surprise that I found this one. |

Its twilight time |
| Description: |
The Dodger works under the US 412 overpass as the sun gets low, making it a challenge to get all the power in the light. But what a golden glow!! |

Glint of last sun |
| Description: |
I was able to get just a little sun on the dodger as it passed Floyd Moore Rd north of Gentry, about the last place I could get any sun, catching the reflection of the last rays of the day. |

Local going away |
| Description: |
I had followed the southbound H train to Watts, and it was working the yard while the dodger got his train together. When he was ready, off he went. I was not in position to get him passing the DPU on the road train, but was able to get this shot from adjacent US 59 of the train and all five cars rolling north. Its a matter of seconds!! |

The dodger, more properly L 102, waits while the ground man works on the cars just coupled up on the Pipelife siding. I caught the power from Washington St, across from the tracks. This consist has been on the train for the last three weeks. |

Coming home |
| Description: |
The dodger, L 102, pauses by the Watts yard office before yarding his train. I heard the train blowing for the crossings in Siloam Springs, headed down here to see this view. It would be the first of three trains this afternoon, though the next one would be a while. |

Wes just shot an empty coal train, and the dodger had cleared up in the Little Debbie plant. This is a close up of the power inside the gate. Dont see any cars. The crew must have finished, and are now going for some Oatmeal Creme Pies... |
