Belles in the snow
Title:  Belles in the snow
Description:  We were out on this snowy day chasing-which we did in NY all the time, since it snowed A LOT there, so no big deal to go out in the little bit of snow we get in Arkansas. One of the prizes that day was this southbound we caught near Sulphur Springs behind a pair of new Belles, which was a big deal at the time.

Tunnel of trees
Title:  Tunnel of trees
Description:  When I lived in the northeast, this was a pervasive problem: rail lines were so long established that the trees had, over many years, grown up around them, making photography a challenge. So it is here as well, as this northbound Q train rolls in a long, shaded trough, the trees having grown up over the years.

DPUs too
Title:  DPUs too
Description:  I wasnt able to get ahead of the train for a good shot at Siloam-too many people ahead of me in town who think a 55 MPH speed limit means 45 is good enough-but I did catch the DPUs in the glint of the late sun south of Kenwood as they passed the dodger, which was working Pipelife.

Shot it anyway

Description:  By the time I got down to Dorsey, the light was below the hill, but I heard this 80 car northbound empty grain train blowing for Mt Olive Rd. I put the camera on the sports setting and took the photo anyway. Not too bad, considering. Im looking forward to the longer days of summer, when its light at 6 PM.

Welcome back
Title:  Welcome back
Description:  The KCS Heavener Sub was closed for three days following a 10" rain event that undercut the track for about a half mile north of the Illinois River, and about 1/4 mile south of the bridge, including inundating the north end of Watts siding. This H train is the first one I saw going north, the line now open. Its supposed to rain again this week, but less than 2" this time. Keeping our fingers crossed.

First train
Title:  First train
Description:  At least, the first one I saw. Most of the washout repair looked like it was done the previous day, though they were still tamping and surfacing when I was in Watts. Now its Tuesday evening, and this 131 car H train is rolling north across Lincoln Av at 1900. There may have been others during the day, I just did not see them. Its good to see trains running again. Amazing how much the track crews accomplished in a short time. Bringing up the rear is KCS 4034 as distributed power.

Southbound gray
Title:  Southbound gray
Description:  Before too much longer, most trains would have Belles leading. Now, its not that common to see a gray unit, leading or otherwise. Back then, I wbs thrilled to get a Belle. Looking back now, Im glad I caught the grays. This one has 73 cars of grain rolling south at Baron.

Fields of gold
Title:  Fields of gold
Description:  At the yime of year where the sun is low, and the fields have all gone brown, the late day sun really turns everything gold, a wonderful mellow color that is just golden. A scene like this always brings to mind Stings song Fields of Gold. The only way to improve on!that image is to put a train in it, which KCS was kind enough to do, with this 104 car H train behind three Belles. We see the train at the Goodman detector.

New power
Title:  New power
Description:  They must have gotten it from Athearn, the undecorated model. KCS received most of its Belles in primer-they run just as well, regardless of how theyre painted, right??-and had them painted as they had time. Some went quite a while in the primer scheme, most were painted fairly quickly. We see 4696 trailing a lite power move, still in its skivvies.

Northbound Q
Title:  Northbound Q
Description:  I caught the northbound at the Ark 59B crossing up by Little Debbie, with a KCSM leader. I went downtown to try to get the head end of the grain train passing the rear of the Q train, but too many people who cant get out of their own way blocked me. Oh, well....
