DPU |
| Description: |
The DPU on this train mirrored the head end power, as is becoming more and more common on the merged road. A KCS/CP pair brings up the rear over the Elk River. Of note, the KCS unit seems to be in fairly fresh paint. |

As always, it starts with a horn |
| Description: |
We were coming back from lunch, and as we got out of the car, I could hear a train climbing up from Watts. A quick change of shoes-I wear this boot on my right foot now, to combat a condition called charcot-and off I went. I played chase til Gravette, where I was finally able to get ahead far enough to set up a shot. Here is the quarry, the 181 train, having just crossed Dallas St. |
