The southbound stone train seen at Gentry is in the siding at Siloam Springs. It has cut the train for the crossings, so is not going anywhere soon. At least the light is better today.
Southbound stone train splits the signals at South Gentry as it heads for Siloam Springs to tie up.
Usually the province of third tier power-and this train is not immune from that, as you can see by the SD50-sometimes they get better than their station would merit, such as this UP road unit that must have been hijacked off something more important. Approaching Davidson Rd under a cloud.
This OLS unit was trailing on a stone train at Gentry.

KCS Eastbound Intermodal Train I- LZJA passing through Ada, La.
A long line of KCS Gray power was spotted in the yard, including SD50's and SD40-3's. Sure was a sad site to see all this old power sitting around. I'm guessing the stored units numbered 20-25 at the old shop.
Rail train waits in the siding at Page for a southbound. Check out all of the snow on the mountain!!
