New power |
Description: |
New power for the A&M, first non Alco units owned by the railroad, are several SD70ACes. Three were at Springdale on Sep 21, one of which was visible from the street. Heres A&M 71 in the best view available. Several Alcos were parked nearby, including 66, which has had its air filter removed. I gotta admit, the new scheme looks good. |

Dogs breakfast |
Description: |
I often used this term referring to some of the unmatched consists on the D&H, especially in the Guilford era, when the power almost never matched-not that the D&H was known for having any two units in a consist match.The A&M usually put together a good looking consist-not that it was essential to operations, but it did put a good image out to anyone seeing one of their trains. The SD 70s sported a new scheme when they came on line. It looks like A&M 71 is awaiting a date in the paint booth, as it appears to be in primer here. Undecorated units run just as well as nicely painted ones!! |

Working the yard |
Description: |
The full consist switches its train prior to heading south to Springdale Ark. We had other things to do, and following the train wasnt in the cards today. The weather was dismal, rain on and off, and, as you can see, heavy overcast. On a sunny day, not taking chase would have been a much harder choice. There are still a good number of Alcos on the roster, serving on locals around the railroad, mostly in northwest Arkansas and the Fort Smith area, as well as the excursions, which remain popular. |

"New" power |
Description: |
We were returning from a trip to Ohio, and came through Monett in the early afternoon. Despite the dismal weather, we decided to take a ride downtown to see if the Monett Turn was there. Turned out it was, and we got a few shots. To my surprise, this ex KCS SD70ACe, from the first order, had moved over to its neighbor, and is now A&M 73, still in its original colors. As much as I enjoy the Belle scheme, I was glad this one was trailing. Note the switch stand with the "D" on it, denoting a derail. |
