Looking good, and gone
Description:
The conductor from the 181 is on the ground rolling the grain train by, now complete as the DPU, yet another GE, passes his position. Theyll be moving momentarily. The angle was God awful, and I didnt shoot him.

Coming back from lunch
Description:
We were coming back from lunch, and I noticed cars sitting under the US 412 overpass. Must be a meet going on, or about to, I thought. We crossed over the tracks, looking south to see the home signal at the end of the siding lit green for the main. Good, the southbound in in the block, having passed the home signal at CP North Siloam Springs. We pulled down onto Lake Frances Drive, to find the DPU on the 261 train in the siding, and what would turn out to be the 262 not quite there yet,

Easing past
Description:
The 262 eases past 261s DPU as it reaches the switch for the south end of the siding, the ET44AC class unit leading. The two covered hoppers at right are in the siding for Pipelife Jetstream, which receives covered hoppers of plastic pellets to make PVC pipe.

Into the curve
Description:
The 262 rolls past the home signal and into the curve at Lake Frances Dr as it makes its way toward Watts. The tele accentuates the angular radiator flare of the lead GE.

Rolling by
Description:
The 262 now is about on the crossing at Lake Frances, and we see what is an unusual consist for a road train, a CP GP ECO and a KCD GP 40-3 trailing the leader. Maybe this is local power to be dropped somewhere?? I cant recall the last time I saw four motor power on a road train on the KCS.

Another surprise
Description:
The DPU on the 262 is mid train today, something the KCS has gone back and forth on over the 18 years I have lived withing earshot of the road. The day after this, Id see a southbound grain move with a pair of units as a DPU halfway into the train.

Spring!!
Description:
We were on our way to breakfast in Gentry, taking Davidson Rd across to Ark 59, so I could check the signal. As we cross the tracks, lo and behold, it;s green. Good, something coming. Seven minutes later, we hear a horn, then a moment later, this southbound grain train rolls into view. The trees are starting to bloom, and it was nice to get one or two in the photo.

Mid train help
Description:
The trend lately has been for mid train DPUs, where up til recently, almost all had been on the rear. These two KCS units are 49 cars deep in a 98 car train.

Some days there just aint much
Description:
Many of my chases start with a visit to the transfer station in town, when I go up to drop recycling. I usually wait til the bins are way too full, so it takes a while. A lot of the time, I catch something while m there, or shortly after. Today, no such luck. After riding up and down through town, finally a clear at North Siloam Springs. It turned out to be this four unit lite power set heading north. Oh well. No big time railroading today.
