Meeting a northbound  Contributor's Pick!       
The grain train meets the empty TXUX train at CP North Stilwell. The single unit is uncommon on the head an empty train, though there are two more on the rear. Practice is for BNSF to send the coal trains from Wyoming in a 2x1 configuration, with KCS adding DPU power on the rear at Pittsburg. This train had the KCS power cut off at Heavener, but the BNSF power was not rearranged once the train was empty. The two KCS units on the grain train are fresh repaints. Thats US 59 in the foreground.
