The Southern Belle, KCS Train B-KCSH-17, passes the former depot site which the original passenger train stopped at prior to November 3, 1969, 45 years and 14 days ago. This trip is bound for Heavener, OK for the night, the trip is inspecting MOW work done during recent all day curfews on this corridor to Sheveport, LA.
Spotted at Drexel Elevator are 4 hopper cars, the first of which I've personally seen in there since 2007. There is no Dodger to work this end of the railroad due to the lack of online business, so this industry is worked by northbound through manifest trains.
