Afternoon light |
Description: |
I drive past this unit often, and its such a part of the landscape that I dont always pay a lot of attention. I was stalking L 102, the Watts based dodger that works most days to Simmons in Decatur, then turns back south, working Little Debbie in Gentry on the way. The light was gorgeous, so I had to get a photo of the "stuffed and mounted" F 7 while I waited for the local to pass, itself in a red/yellow/black scheme. |

Caught him |
Description: |
I heard a horn while I was working outside, and decided to give chase of a northbound. It turned out to be an empty TXUX train, with a pair of BNSF units on the rear. I caught him just south of Decatur, and set up for the shot passing the displayed F 7 at the station. |

Just caught him |
Description: |
After we saw the light power move, we came out to take a ride in the sun, stopping at nearby Crystal Lake to do some bird watching and enjoy the 60 degree day. As we were heading back to Ark 59, we saw a southbound rolling past. A quick dash into Decatur got me ahead of the train, but just enough to jump and get a grab shot. So we have BNSF 6359 leading a 125 car TXUX train, and a nice shot of a light pole with an F unit behind it, |

Delayed chase |
Description: |
I was dropping my recycling when a northbound empty coal train went past the dump. I was elbows deep in a bin of plastic and glass, and it was already 1515-they close at 1530-so I needed to get the task done. The coal train-led by a KCS unit and a BNSF Grinstein-was moving too fast for me to catch up, and I had things to do at home. After he went by, a track car got track and time to go to Gentry, then clear up by 1600, there was a southbound at Noel. I went to Gentry at 1600, no train, so worked north, finally catching him coming across Roller Av as I got into town. |

KCS Units |
Description: |
Late on a February afternoon these four locomotives were on the turntable lead at Minden, Louisiana. GP7 4160 is a locally-assigned unit, while F7A 75 and GP30's 4107 and 4101 had come up from Alexandria on train No. 66 and would be returning south on No. 65. The 75 would be renumbered 4062 in April 1978, just 14 months away; and would be out of service by the end of 1982. The geeps lasted a little longer! |

On an unknown date around 1970 Kansas City Southern power was tying on to a northbound train in WEST YARD, just west of New Orleans. The locomotives were F7A number 90 with F3B units 50C, 30B and 57B. The little shelter on the right contained a control panel for throwing switches. (approximate date of photo) |
