Western Railroad Discussion > Belles in the snow then a quick trip down to Atlanta,TXDate: 02/28/15 08:18 Belles in the snow then a quick trip down to Atlanta,TX Author: CPR-489 It's been crazy weather lately in Southwest Arkansas/Northeast Texas. We started Wednesday calling for snow and boy did we get it 4-6 inches with some areas getting as much as 8". Lucky the road didn't get too bad and by Thursday they were pretty much clear other bridges and such. I set out Thursday morning after dropping the kiddo's off for school. Sorry for first 5-6 photo's had my ISO set to high didn't notice until later in day.
First up at 5th St Texarkana, Tx and a almost missed KCS 4851 leads a train with five dead in consist CP SD-40's heading for rebuild down in Mexico from what i've been told. This was first of three train so far that moving these engine's.

I then headed to South Jury to get the dead on hours grain train awaiting a re crew out Shreveport, La

1st KCS 4004 with southbound at north Jury. 2nd KCS 4011 on southbound H train dead on hours waiting a re-crew at texarkana KCS yard. 3rd KCS 2964 running long hood forward back to Ashdown, AR after working the local feed mill.

KCS 4192 passes the signal at MP 488 after crossing the UP Little Rock sub diamond and heads north past me with an empty rock train. The crew would have their work cut out for them. Just after taken this photo the dispatcher would have them yard this train at Texarkana and run light power north picking up power along the way at Ashdown and on to Wade. Wade is siding were the KCS adds and drops off power for the climb over Rich Mountain.
