Pulling past |
| Description: |
The H train spent some time working the Watts yard. Some of it is spent waiting for the signal, since they must pull south of the siding for head room. Heres the road power at the switch, pulling down to shove a cut into the yard. |

Whats happening |
| Description: |
The road power for the H train poses at the sign along US 59 at the south end of town. Pay attention to that "radar controlled" sign. Watts gets about half its town budget from traffic fines. The cops here are active watching for speeders in the 40 MPH zone through town. This area will soon see changes to the roadway. The two lane there now will become four, probably during 2016. ODOT has already acquired the right of way, and demolished the few buildings still left there. |

Nice looking DPUs |
| Description: |
A three unit set of DPUs takes the rear of the H train past the feel mill. This train had more power than Ive seen in a long time. It had picked up the local power at Watts for the trip to Heavener, giving it six units on the lead, and these three behind. I think theyll make it!! |

Last of the sun |

An 115 car empty oil train catches the last rays as it passes through Gravette. Too bad this didnt happen two hours earlier. After this, I caught a southbound grain train, which met a northbound at Siloam. I passed on a southbound coil steel train at Gentry while chasing this one. Could have had all of them in good light. |

Good score |
| Description: |
Not on the soccer field. This 114 car H train has what has become a common event, a Belle leader. The score is the trailing unit, an SD 50. These units are often seen on work trains, but now only rarely on freight. This was quite a catch. |

Grain south and a wait |
| Description: |
This grain train was waiting north of Stilwell, most likely for a meet. Why they were held up here is a mystery, since the siding there is quite long enough to hold a 100 car train withovt blocking any crossings. Made the shot easy for me though. |

Caught off guard |
| Description: |
I had just quit on a chase of a southbound oil train, and was coming back through town when I heard a horn. Ten minutes behind the oil train was this stone train. I was able to get onto US 59 south and head for the overpass. I wasnt fast enough, so we have this grab shot of it having passed the south end of the siding, approaching the US 59 bridge. Ill have to try this shot again when I can set up for it. There are not many chances for an overhead view that are easy to reach, so this has potential. |

New view |
| Description: |
The US 59 widening project has meant some serious tree and brush clearing. One place that got it was the area around Chewey Rd, between MP 238 and 239. Prior to the project, it was treed in. Now its wide open, creating a shot I had wished existed for years. Here we have a southbound H train approaching the curve, and the following two shots as it makes its way through. This was taken right from the shoulder of US 59. |

MP 237 |
| Description: |
As the KCS goes south, it turns so that the tracks face southwest, then turn south through a sweeping curve at MP 237. Its adjacent to US 59, and an easy spot to work. The train starts south through the curve, making for a beautifully lit shot. |

The DPU on the southbound H train sits next to the lone tree remaining between the road to Bakery Feeds(at far left) and the tracks. There was once a substantial stand of trees here. Now, almost nothing. Makes for good photography!! |
