I went to Rich Moutain, Arkansas and Page, Oklahoma this weekend (February 26, 27, 2005) to get some KCS action, but failed to capture even one KCS train while there. However, on my way back to Little Rock, I stopped at Union Station and got several trains in an hours period, INCLUDING KCS #2049 as the second unit in a UP train. So I finally got my KCS locomotive, even though I wouldn't have had to leave home to do it! Also today, Feb 27, I saw UP, SF blue/yellow (a rare SD-45-2), NS, BNSF, and a Cryo-Trans car. Also, two MoPac cabooses on display in Crystal Springs, Arknasas, about 15 miles west of Hot Springs, on Feb 27. Contact information:


Cars at Page, Oklahoma on Saturday, Feb 26. A KCS southbound had just passed, but I missed it.


Missouri Pacific cupola caboose 13302 and caboose 13893 were sitting next to a barbecue place in Crystal Springs, Arkansas, about 15 miles west of Hot Springs, when I was traveling back home. This is on US Highway 270.


UP 2448, 10:35 a.m., northbound passing Union Station Little Rock.

Santa Fe (BNSF) 6514, a rare SD-45-2 (thanks to Charles Allen for the information).


6514 again. Notice the brighter yellow where BNSF has been placed. Are they actually applying paint in the old scheme at times, at least for patch jobs?
