Surprise find

Description:  I was checking out northwest Arkansas for a move I would take six months later, and found myself in Decatur, where I discovered their KCS F 7 displayed by the old station. Compare to the shot taken ten years later.

Belle hop
Title:  Belle hop
Description:  In 2007, KCS bought a fleet of covered hoppers for grain service, all painted in a variation of the "Belle" scheme on their new diesels. For a while, these train sets ran as units, and it was common to see a solid 100 car train of these new cars. Heres one rolling south with 59 loads just south of Decatur.

By the board
Title:  By the board
Description:  One of the more challenging shots in the area is this shot of a northbound passing the signal at Roller Av in Decatur, just north of the station. The Simmons plant keeps the tracks in shadow much of the afternoon, but during the longer days of summer, its possible to get this shot with the power and signal lit up. Because the angle is low by then, it makes for an attractive shot. We see a northbound 84 car H train.

Snaking through the snow
Title:  Snaking through the snow
Description:  A good photo location is alongside Ark 59, just north of where it passes under Ark 102. Theres a nice long S curve there thats reasonably open, and makes a good morning shot. I was able to catch this southbound grain train a bit later in the day, the light working due to the overcast. The snow helped, and this shot made a good Christmas card.

Rolling them back
Title:  Rolling them back
Description:  A pair of gray AC44s roll 75 empty cars north a few miles south of Decatur. I worked for JB Hunt at the time, who is a big user of intermodal. All their rail partners have contributed models, which are displayed in the main lobby. The KCS model has this unit, 4592, leading a set of stack cars. Its painted in the Belle scheme. In a case of art not imitating life, the prototype, seen here, is still gray.
