Belle under a rock
Title:  Belle under a rock
Description:  A southbound grain train rolls under the rocks south of Noel, where KCS used to take their publicity photos for the Southern Belle. It looks just as good with a modern EMD as it did with Es.

Going away
Title:  Going away
Description:  No, this is not the head end. This Flint Creek train ran 2x3, so this is the DPU pushing into the power plant spur with this attractive set of units on a gloomy day. This shot would not have been possible on a sunny day, the light would have been all wrong. The Heavener Sub main is to the left.

Hard curve
Title:  Hard curve
Description:  The H train has pulled down for headroom as it works the Watts yard, coming around the hard curve south of South Watts. A tele lens brings in the hillside behind the train, as if to drive home the point that Oklahoma aint all flat. Theres a reason there are DPUs on most trains here.

Wide view
Title:  Wide view
Description:  The wide view from the closed roadhouse on US 59 reveals this long shot of the H train off the Illinois River bridge, approaching CP North Watts. The KCS has cleared a lot of brush on the bridge approach, making this shot possible. Its a good one.

Into the shadows
Title:  Into the shadows
Description:  The DPU rolls into the shadows created by the tunnel of trees on this late Saturday afternoon on its way south. Meanwhile, the northbound is slowly pulling away toward Stilwell. It will hold south of town as another TXUX train followed by the 262, hold north of town, where the northbound will meet both. The light will go before they are in position for a photo. Such is the life of a railfan on a chase.

Belle on the Rock
Title:  Belle on the Rock
Description:  Whats left of it....the DPU on the southbound H train sits on the AOK crossing, once the Rocks Choctaw route. Signals still protect the crossings on both routes, though I have to admit the signal on the Rock has more aesthetic appeal.

Grain empties
Title:  Grain empties
Description:  An 81 car northbound train of covered hoppers rolls toward Kansas City and more corn. The Belle scheme was making serious inroads to the fleet at this time, but most of the existing fleet was still gray. Seemed ever time I'd see a train with Belles, there would be a gray unit leading. It's only in the last two years or so that the AC44's have been getting repainted, while it seems most of the SD 70's have been done.

Red raider
Title:  Red raider
Description:  Todays surprise was a southbound H train coming in to meet the northbound counterpart at Siloam. I had caught the northbound coming into town, and he was stopped in the siding. I ran up to Davidson Rd to catch this train, and got a surprise. CP power is not uncommon on the KCS, though it almost always is seen on unit oil trains headed for the Gulf Coast. Catching it leading the H train was unusual.

Good mix
Title:  Good mix
Description:  During the years prior to the KCS getting dozens of new diesels, there was a motley assortment of older power, some KCS, some hand me down. We see a southbound approaching Lincoln Av with some of each. A pair of consecutively numbered Belles are in the lead, with a pair of ex TFM units, consecutively numbered SDP40s in different paint schemes trailing on this Q train with 50 freight and 10 stacks in tow.

Snaking through the snow
Title:  Snaking through the snow
Description:  A good photo location is alongside Ark 59, just north of where it passes under Ark 102. Theres a nice long S curve there thats reasonably open, and makes a good morning shot. I was able to catch this southbound grain train a bit later in the day, the light working due to the overcast. The snow helped, and this shot made a good Christmas card.

Belles in the snow
Title:  Belles in the snow
Description:  We were out on this snowy day chasing-which we did in NY all the time, since it snowed A LOT there, so no big deal to go out in the little bit of snow we get in Arkansas. One of the prizes that day was this southbound we caught near Sulphur Springs behind a pair of new Belles, which was a big deal at the time.
