Macon local southbound

Macon local southbound to Meridian

Three 4-axle EMD locomotives lead the "Watts Dodger" local train north across the Illinois River near Watts, OK on a cool and foggy October 4, 2021 morning.

KCS trains headed out of Fort Smith face a substantial climb, but typically short trains and more-than-adequate power (often trios of GP40s) mean the hill isn't usually much of a challenge.

KCS 2970 leads a long cut of cars out of Knoche in the late evening.
