Outstanding shot and caption! Both let the viewer know that some good railroading was going down when you captured this scene!

Great picture. Looks like two "lovebird" F units are a few locomotives back as well. Marmaduke is where the American Railcar plant is located, which had to shut down temporarily after taking a severe hit from the 2006 tornado that went from west of that town across the boot heel of Missouri (leveling part of Caruthersville, Missouri) before lifting in Tennessee east of the Mississippi River.

I lived in Marmaduke in 1963. Might have actually seen this train go through. Worked in a grocery store
1 1/2 blocks from the track, lived 3 blocks from track. Dad was Agent for Cotton Belt but don't remember if he was working at the depot there at the time. He was on "Extra Board" and worked at several of the stations between Brinkley and Chaffee, Mo.
