Fenced in
Title:  Fenced in
Description:  A southbound TXUX train roll past the Siloam transfer station, its fence leading to the tracks. This photo is no longer possible. The wood fence was removed a couple of years ago, and the area surrounded by a chain link fence, so its not possible to reach this angle now.

Cresting the hill
Title:  Cresting the hill
Description:  The KCS Heavener Sub is nothing if not a lot of up and down. The line dips between Gentry and Siloam Springs, runs more or less flat through Siloam, then down into the Illinois River valley to reach Watts. Here a southbound TXUX train is cresting the grade at Davidson Rd just north of Siloam Springs.

One rolling, one not
Title:  One rolling, one not
Description:  The caboose at Gravette has been preserved, no longer needed in the age of electronics. The trains, however, keep rolling, as does this southbound TXUX coal train bound for Texas, its BNSF power running through.

Over the hump
Title:  Over the hump
Description:  The Heavener Sub is well known for its up and down profile, but there is one short rise that is not enough to get any attention, but it really poses a challenge to a heavy train. Were at MP 219, just south of Decatur, as a 125 car TXUX coal train pulls south, very slowly, over the top of the short grade here.

Description:  A loaded coal train is ready to head for the Boise City Sub for Amarillo. We see the DPU-a pair of units are on the other end, making this a 2x3 power distribution-and an empty train coming up for a crew change as it heads for the Joint Line and Wyoming.

DPUs
Title:  DPUs
Description:  On the KCS, where I see most of the coal trains I encounter, its unusual to see three units trailing. Here on the BNSF Thayer Sub, the old Frisco to Memphis through the Ozarks, its fairly common to see a 2x3 power set. This is the rear on a 135 car eastbound coal train. These units will get a real workout in another hour or so.

Rolling up the siding
Title:  Rolling up the siding
Description:  The northbound empty train rolls up the siding. In the distance, we can see the loaded train holding short of the Main St crossing. It will pull down as the empty pulls up. KCS is pretty good about not blocking crossings in town when they have a meet. I have occasionally been startled to see a train sitting just south of Lake Frances Rd in Siloam, waiting for a southbound to get into town.

Taking the siding
Title:  Taking the siding
Description:  I started out this day on an errand. As I completed that task, I heard a horn, which turned out to be a northbound empty TXUX train. I was not able to get it in Siloam, but I did get to Gentry in time to set up on the Ark 12 overpass just in time to catch it approaching the south end of the siding there.

Title:  Late in the day at Davidson
Description:  A northbound empty TXUX train rolls past the pastures at Davidson Rd, north of Siloam. The H2 scheme has its appeal, but it really washes out in the sun. Much as I prefer the H 1 scheme, the Swoosh also is fairly photogenic.

Description:  My wife is a frequent companion on some of my train chasing expeditions, and sometimes will take a few shots as well. We were following this southbound TXUX coal train, and set up to get the shot on the Elk River at Ginger Blue. Diane nailed it pretty good, a nicely lit shot from the low water crossing to the west of the bridge.

Going away
Title:  Going away
Description:  The DPU on the empty northbound passes between the signals at Mc Elhany as the train pulls away toward Neosho and the BNSF, ex Frisco crossing. I really should have quit on this guy at Noel, and followed the southbound back, but I dont get up here all that often, and it was still early enough to have good light. I did get a bonus in the Government Lead siding, though, so that was a plus.

DPUs away
Title:  DPUs away
Description:  The thing about shuttles is that they keep the power on both ends, just running the trains back and forth. I heard this guy coming north from my house, and went into town to see where he was. In the process of checking out all the possible signals, he got by me at Country Club Rd. A quick turn around, and I got to Davidson Rd in time to miss the head end, but I got the back. A BNSF SD 70M helps the CP power.

Taking the signal
Title:  Taking the signal
Description:  The northbound empty oil train approaches the signal at the north end of the siding, about to take the main heading north. Home signals on KCS are single head: either you go, or you dont, its red or green, by and large. In the northeast where I came from, this would be a two head signal, red over green.
