Well my latest adventure was on a MNLKC. I finally got to do a daylight run. This is some of the mosr beautiful scenery in the south, especially during the autumn. This will probably be my last one. I dont want to clutter the forum up with this stuff. I wish I knew how to do a webpage. Id make a page and post them there. Oh well here we go. Its quite a few this time.Leaving Little Rock the line parallels the ARkansas River most of the ways.

In Conway, AR we head into the "Tunnel Of Love"
Meeting the CJRRD. A coal train goin to Kevarc's powerplant in Rodemacher, LA
Passing a grain plant. Notice the S2 switcher off to the left.

I knew I heard a foghorn somewhere.
A solar powered signal. If you look close enough you can see the windmill to the left of the signal.
Crossing a small inlet.
Meeting the QNPNL at Spadra.

While stopped at Sand Plant I decided to step off and take a pic of my train.
Coming into Ozark.
Closer to Ozark. Notice the station off to the right. Some old people are there somtimes watching trains. Sun in my eyes.

Looking in the mirror back at Ozark. You see the bridge. At night the bridge has lights on it and when the water is calm you can see the reflection of the light off of the water. It is beautiful.

Well the few that I have done I hope you all enjoyed. If I see something really beautiful i'll post it but other than that I guess this will be the last one. I dont want to get any complaints like I did when I uploaded some screenshots to the library. Im going to quit while im ahead. Like I said, if I can ever figure out how to build a website, use ftp and all that stuff imma do a site, but other than that I hope you all enjoyed SSW's Stories.
