The Monett Turn arrives Monett.
A three pack of Arkansas & Missouri C420s grind uphill at S. Wimpy Jones Road with the northbound Monett Turn.
The northbound Monett Turn crosses the Little Sugar Creek Trestle.
3 of the A&M's ALCo C420's waste no time heading back to Springdale, AR with a short train in tow.
The Monett Turn's 5 Alco Centuries drift downgrade through a small rock cut in the tiny town of Garfield, AR.
A&M 60 and 3 sister Alcos start to pull south after making a quick 1 car set out to the grain elevator in Butterfield,MO. 4/15/10
South of Butterfield the tracks pass under the old Highway, the overpass makes for a great afternoon photograph.
Five Alco C420's south of Monett with a 71 car train.
After dropping 4 cars at the grain elevators, the Alco quartet heads back to the mainline to continue South.
Alco's smoke it up at Butterfield, on their way to Springdale.
A sucker hole of sun catches four C420's cackling South, through a s-curve, lined with wildflowers in bloom. Must admit, my first time seeing ALCO's in mainline action, was really awesome!
