Clean pushers
Title:  Clean pushers
Description:  The DPU on this empty coal train is a pair of repainted SD 70MACs. Dont know how recently these units were redone, but theyre really clean. Were standing down along the team track, at the location of the station here, looking north.

Old switch stand
Title:  Old switch stand
Description:  A relatively recent repaint-of a 20 plus year old unit-passes a relic of the past, a switch stand that once controlled a switch for a local business. In a quirk of fate, this was a second meeting for me with this engine. I had shot it back in March of 2005, leading NS 13T at Binghamton NY. It was in Grinstein Green in those days. Look for it in the NS in the Southern Tier album.

Back to the mine
Title:  Back to the mine
Description:  A coal train from Texas rolls back to Wyoming for more black diamonds at Dalhart. It will shortly cross the UPs ex Rock Island line to New Mexico. Imagine, 30 years earlier I could have seen Q SD 24s here.

Pushing it south
Title:  Pushing it south
Description:  The TXUX coal train has three on the rear, pushing the loaded train south. Wish I could have gotten up the hill a little faster to get that fence post out of the photo!!

Bright future
Title:  Bright future
Description:  The trailing unit is one of the 1000 SD70MACs BN acquired in the 90s for coal service. Many of them have now been displaced in that work by newer power, and have found their way into the general freight pool. This last unit is still(mostly) in its original paint, but the second unit, another Grinstein, is now in "Swoosh" paint. Hopefully this is a bodes well for its future!!

DPUs too
Title:  DPUs too
Description:  After I shot the head end at the station, I went up to the US 59 overpass just to the south. The shot is not as open as I remember it, but now that Ive lived here 15 years, Im finding that there are a lot of places that were good shots, that are now overgrown, especially in late summer. I still managed a shot of the DPU going away, an unusual mix of power.

Suprise DPU
Title:  Suprise DPU
Description:  The surprise is not that there is one-unit grain trains almost always have one-but that its a BNSF Grinstein SD 70, a unit more typically found on coal trains. I like this scheme, so for me it was a bonus.

Waiting
Title:  Waiting
Description:  Trains spend a lot of time waiting. This one is north of Country Club Rd, where there is enough track space to fit a 125 car coal train between here and the next crossing north, Davidson Rd. The KCS is pretty good about not blocking crossings in town any longer than needed for a meet. There was a northbound empty AEPX train on the way up from Watts-slowly. This southbound was here about 20 minutes before he moved.

DPUs on the move
Title:  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.
