| Remarks & Notes |
| The Rich Mountain area on the KCS Shreveport Sub is a well known location. The KCS goes up around the Quachita Mountains near the Oklahoma/Arkansas Stateline. Here trains go from 500 feet to the summit at 1600 feet in a 20 mile climb. Most southbound trains are DP'd and take a good while to make this climb. Here we have a 2x3 DP'd Martin Lake, TX, bound coal train. A couple BNSF ACE's roar on the headend as the train nears the top at Rich Mountain at 17 MPH. The train has been at it now for 30 minutes to go 10 miles on this 1% grade between Page and Rich Mountain. |
