Stone
Title:  Stone
Description:  Usually the province of third tier power-and this train is not immune from that, as you can see by the SD50-sometimes they get better than their station would merit, such as this UP road unit that must have been hijacked off something more important. Approaching Davidson Rd under a cloud.

Canned

Description:  The southbound stone train seen at Gentry is in the siding at Siloam Springs. It has cut the train for the crossings, so is not going anywhere soon. At least the light is better today.

NAFTA unit
Title:  NAFTA unit
Description:  KCS painted one of its SD50s in this special scheme, here seen at Knoche Yard. Note the executive train on the right, and also the BN coal train approaching on one of the yard tracks. This was a good place for a truck driver laying over on a Sunday to watch the action.

Good score
Title:  Good score
Description:  Not on the soccer field. This 114 car H train has what has become a common event, a Belle leader. The score is the trailing unit, an SD 50. These units are often seen on work trains, but now only rarely on freight. This was quite a catch.

Not as pretty
Title:  Not as pretty
Description:  Its still a good shot. The creek next to Mt Olive Rd just north of Dorsey is showing the effects of an active winter. Not so much snow, but a lot of rain, which has washed out all the vegetation from the stream bed. Lets see how green it gets this summer. An H train rolls north.

Still around
Title:  Still around
Description:  The trailing unit on the H train was an SD 50. Not many of these still kicking around, though its not uncommon to see them in work train service in the summer.
