Along the road
Title:  Along the road
Description:  Twice in two weeks, we headed north to see what we could find; twice we stopped at Caseys in Anderson for a short break, only to have a southbound Q train come by while we were there. Same story, caught him along MO 59 south of Anderson, which is a stunningly good view of a train going south, and also north as you get toward sunset. Southbound Q train, and the chase is on. We followed him to Watts.

NAFTA unit
Title:  NAFTA unit
Description:  KCS had at least two of these NAFTA painted units. This one, an AC4400, was trailing on an empty AEPX coal train at Siloam Springs. The other was SD 60 2000, which I caught in KC a few years earlier.

Caught him
Title:  Caught him
Description:  I had just gotten home from recycling-right by the tracks-when I heard a horn. This is a running joke between my wife and me: we always seem to hear a train within five minutes of returning home, no matter where weve been, or if weve been following the tracks the whole time we were out. I dropped the bins in the garage and headed out, knowing from the direction of the horn that it was a northbound. As I crested the hill into town, I heard the detectorf at Davidson Rd go off, and knew I had to hurry. As it turned out the train was being run into the siding at Gentry, and was holding there. Oh, good, a meet, I thought. I went to Main St and shot the head end as it waited at the site of the old station. Thats Ark 12 in the distance, Well see some shots from there later in the set.

Long line
Title:  Long line
Description:  A head on view shows the long line of coal hoppers stretched out toward the Ark 12 overpass and CP South Gentry, glinting in the late afternoon sun. Of note, trailing unit KCS 4575 was once a "NAFTA" unit, with a special paint job. It was painted into the Belle scheme in 2013

The northbound
Title:  The northbound
Description:  The dispatcher said the grain train was to meet a northbound at Stilwell. I was hoping for an actual train, so was sorta disappointed when it turned out to be just four lite engines, now in the siding as they are about to meet the southbound. Oh well....though one of them did turn out to be notable.

Once a special unit
Title:  Once a special unit
Description:  Third in consist of the lite power move was this surprise. It doesnt look all that different from any other AC44 now, but back in the day, when NAFTA was a big deal, this engine had a special paint job on its gray body, noting the different roads in the KCS stable, and how they fit into the NAFTA scheme. There was also an SD 50 so adorned, which I have a shot of at Knoche Yard in KC from 1999 or so.

More than quarter horses
Title:  More than quarter horses
Description:  A northbound grain train rolls past the driveway for Shockeys Farm, its sign proclaiming their featured stock. The KCS has something somewhat larger than quarter horses to handle their task. Sadly, this sign was taken down during the US 59 widening project, which upgraded the road to four lanes here.

Cherokee panorama
Title:  Cherokee panorama
Description:  The spread of eastern Oklahoma, Cherokee territory, is seen in this view of a northbound grain train just north of Westville. View is from what was then two lane US 59, which is going up a hill at this point. The new, four lane US 59 would open in 2016 about midway up the frame, roughly where the barbed wire fence is, relegating the road Im on to local access for some farms and a church. Its a much better vantage point now without the traffic.

Title:  Dark DPU
Description:  The sun had gotten just far enough down so that I was not able to get a lit shot of the DPU on this southbound grain train. Did OK considering. Its getting hard to find a lot of gray units anymore, so was sorta happy to see this. Nice glow on the safety stripes.

Five grays
Title:  Five grays
Description:  With all the attention given to the new Belle scheme, its easy to overlook that the gray units are slowly disappearing. One has to remember, this was considered a great improvement over the white dip that KCS used for so long. This southbound H reain has picked up the local power at Watts for a trip to Heavener for servicing, making for five gray units, a sight that has become unusual.

Description:  A train full of chicken feed rolls past a place that sells....chicken feed. Across the tracks is a store called The Chicken Coop, which is a junk...er, consignment shop...that has a lot of chicken related items. Trailing unit 4577 is one of only a few AC44's that have been painted into the Belle scheme. There are many more SD70's that have gotten the treatment.

Catching rays
Title:  Catching rays
Description:  One of the great things about winter is the low sun angle, which really saturates the colors. The down side is, the sun never gets very high, and shots you can take in the summer are in shadow. Such is the case at Decatur, where I catch this southbound grain train getting some sun in between the shadows from the adjacent Simmons Foods buildings.

Spavinaw Creek
Title:  Spavinaw Creek
Description:  Sometimes out and back is a one sided event. We went out last Friday because it was a nice day-55 degrees and sun-too nice to stay in. I had not heard a train in several hours, so after lunch we headed north, figuring we'd run into something along the way. That turned out to be a southbound grain train, which we saw at Gravette. We chased down to Spavinaw Creek, where KCS must have cleared out some brush along the tracks, along with the usual die back in winter. A 100 car grain train rolls off the short through truss over Spavinaw Creek, between Gravette and the north end of Dorsey siding, in a view I have not seen before, and impossible when everything is leafed out.

Now if only the leader was a KCS unit, wed have a trifecta of Siloam Springs related business.

Sneaking up
Title:  Sneaking up
Description:  As the dodger puts his train into the yard, the southbound Q train rolls down the main behind him. The Q train will have a surprise, which well see once the dodger clears, and the Q train fixes a software problem on the lead unit. Remember when fixing a diesel issue was just resetting a relay??

Q train surprise
Title:  Q train surprise
Description:  The dodger got his train put in the yard, and the Q train was having an issue with his lead unit. I went south a half mile or so to get him on the big curve near MP 237. As he came around, the second unit caught my eye: KCS 4006, the Support the Troops engine.
