The southbound TXUX coal move rolls around the hard curve at the north end of town as it enters Stilwell. Seven years after this photo, its so overgrown here you cant get this shot now.

A southbound TXUX coal train rolls down the main behind one BNSF and two KCS units. Most of the time, there were at least two BNSF units leading these trains, so the KCS power up front is unusual.
