On the ex Mopac |
| Description: |
If I had time and was heading to Little Rock from the north, Id take US 67 south. North of Newport, the road was next to the ex MP main most of the way. Sometimes I saw something and was able to take a photo, like this mixed bag near Hoxie |

View from the truck |
| Description: |
After I went to driving school, JB Hunt sent me out with a trainer for several weeks. We worked as a team, switching off the driving. We were rolling down I 57 one day, my trainer driving and me riding. I saw this UP train approaching from the east on the ex C&EI, and was able to get shot of it going away as it passed under the highway. The trailing unit, ex MP, is on familiar turf. Some days you win one. |

An eastbound coal train rolls through Hoffman Av just as an auto rack train clears. Look at those GE's smoke!!This is one of the busiest spots in the area, located where CPs ex MILW line and BNSFs ex CB&Q line head east down the Mississippi River. Theyll shortly end up on opposite sides, but here they are together. Its a show. |

Coal train east |
| Description: |
Right after Memorial Day 1996, I delivered a load of beer to a distributor in Ottumwa Iowa. While waiting on my next load, I caught this train rolling east. In the pre SD70 and AC4400 everywhere era, coal trains usually got a mix of 3000 HP units, such as these. |

Coal train east |
| Description: |
One of the things I tried to do when I could was follow routes that put me next to rail lines. Sometimes it yielded interesting results, such as this along US 287in Texas, though the problems inherent with parking a 53 foot trailer often prevented me from getting the ideal shot. |

KCS Business train before the Belle |
| Description: |
I caught the KCS business train at Knoche on Sunday while waiting on freight. The Choteau Trafficway was easy to get to, and I could park a bobtail tractor nearby, so I went train watching. Turned intot a good day. A coal train headed south on the KCS makes its way though the yard. |
