Early morning just east of Poteau, the Fort Smith Dodger highballs town crossing over an impressive steal bridge.
Loaded grain leaving town with 103 loads, 14,212 tons, 6595 feet with 2 DPU motors.
After a very cloudy day, a northbound coal empty led by "ACEs" KCS 4103 and BNSF 9271 has only clear skies ahead.
Two KCS SD70ACe's present a fierce face as they roll north with a solid string of Southern Belle hoppers. KCS is busy putting the class back into "Class 1."
The Ft. Smith Dodger heads northeast to FT.Smith just outside of Poteau, OK.
