The rear view of the CP GE acting as the DPU on todays Q train. This will be the last shot I get. He beat me into Gravette, so missed him there. The plan was to get him off the Ark 59 overpass north of Sulphur Springs, and again at the low water crossing at Noel, but it wasnt to be, Winds in the area had been 40-50 MPH most of the day, and had knocked down power lines north of Gravette, blocking the line. The Q train was stuck til they were cleared, which didnt happen til after 1900. As if that wasnt enough, there was an empty grain train following about ten minutes behind with a CP/UP duo, that I didnt get a shot of either. Oh well....
