Fly in the ointment |

When the northbound empty TXUX train didnt start once the H train cleared the north switch at Stilwell, it caused me to miss the shot of the Belle leader at the station. Heres why the northbound didnt get the signal: this light power move south, coming into town about 15 minutes behind the H train. |

Busy, busy |
| Description: |
Watts is sometimes a busy place. We see the dodger, L 102, at right, working the yard. What would usually be his third unit is peeking out from behind the relay case at right. At left is the southbound H train, holding the main as he waits his turn at the yard. Behind the dodger is the tail end of the northbound grain train, whose crew now cant get on because the H train is blocking the power. It was a mess. |

Halloween treat |
| Description: |
The dodger has just finished at Cobb in Siloam Springs and is heading south. I usually go home from work this way, just in case I see a train. This Halloween I got a treat-caught the local, and had a Belle repaint leading. Better than a Three Musketeers!! |

Lucky grab |
| Description: |
I was coming back from running some errands, picking my way through town, about to cross the KCS at Kenwood St, when to my delight the gates started down. The day was gloomy-its been raining here for the last three days, and I didnt expect to shoot any train photos, but when presented with the chance, out comes the camera from under the seat. This is unusual for two reasons: first, the dodger typically runs with three units, occasionally, but not often, two. And its long hood forward, which you never see here. Anyway, a LHF GP 40 with six cars heads to Watts in the rain. Last time I saw this unit, in Gentry on the dodger, it was gray. |

Local with a pair of little Belles |
| Description: |
Two Belle painted 4 axle units bracket a gray GP 40 on todays edition of the Watts based dodger, seen here from Kenwood St as it works Pipelife Jetstream. Pipelife gets covered hoppers full of plastic pellets to make PVC pipe. The tanks behind the power are vegetable oil, most likely going to Little Debbie in Gentry. Bring on the oatmeal creme pies!! |

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. |
