Born in Mena. Raised in Cove. Man i sure do miss it there. Everytime I would hear that horn blow I'd would want to go to my favorite railroad crossing that was in Vandervoort.
I always enjoy watching films of my old stomping grounds. This very same track goes right through "SMALL PLACES" called "WICKES", "GRANNIS", "GILLHAM", and meets a YARD at "DE QUEEN". When I was a child "1979", 12 years old all of the "K.C.S" trains then was "WHITE/RED K.C.S LETTERS". Very often you would see a "BURLINGTON NORTHERN" assisting, "BURLINGTON NORTHERN'S" (before they merged with "SANTA FE RAILROAD) were "GREEN/WHITE B" and inside the "WHITE B, GREEN G". The only time the train stopped in "GRANNIS ARKANSAS" then was to drop off/ pick up "FEED CARS" at the then "LANE'S POULTRY+ PROCESSING" PLANT, (before it became "TYSON"). Since then they tore out the track and the silo's that use to be behind the plant, and the tracks went right between them. "GOD HOW THINGS CHANGE!"
I wanted to thank you for your hard work. I enjoy your channel and videos particularly because I like how you explain what we're seeing, the history, frequently the locos and consist and the clarity of the video itself. You're channel is great and has become my #1 view; I'm always checking if there's a new production. So Thanks, Keep Up the Excellent Work and Know that it's Appreciated.
I worked 41 plus years on the KCS on the Maintenance of way and worked on that district! I wonder how many crossties and rail we have replaced over the years! Constant maintenance though the mountains especially replacing curve rail because of the weight of the trains wearing it out!
Isn't it funny how the hobby mimics real life railroading? I run G gauge trains,O,and HO. On G gauge engines like a SD-402 ,an SD-45,or any of the SD-70s you have to place railroading locks between the rails on the 4 curves to keep the track ( electrical contacts) together. The G gauge engines are so heavy and the side torque exerts so much pressure the rails pull apart.
My grandfather owned the white house on the north side of Heavener that looked on the railroad as it entered the yard. In fact, if you swung your camera over to the right during that first shot of the train rolling into the Heavener yard, you might have seen his front porch. When my grandfather, who had been a brakeman on the KCS, passed away, there was a huge ice storm across the Four States Area. Impossible for a car to make it up from Shreveport to Heavener. So my dad, an engineer on the KCS, crawled his truck over to Deramus Yard, where he hopped on the freight train heading north to Heavener. It was the only vehicle capable of making the trip safely. Thanks for posting this video. It brought back some great memories. Love Heavener, where I still have some relatives, and the Rich Mountain area.
This is a very good video. Thank you for your efforts in getting the shots and putting it together. And I agree with the other comments: this needs many more likes - because it’s so worthy of them.
Thanks for watching! We're actually heading back this afternoon for the weekend to try and capture the fall colors. Tip: bring some garden clippers or something to clear some shrubbery
Absolutely a fantastic display of the route! I applied to KCS for Shreveport, Heavener, Kansas City, and Jackson for Conductor Trainee this week. Might be seeing you from the cab next year
That was awesome seeing the KCS getting fueled up to continue on. I've always wanted to see that done and am glad your video had it included. Your videos are always top notch especially w the commentary to give what's going on. Just wanted to let you know the camera your using takes ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL video! My guess is that its 4K capable bcuz it looks like you could step in the picture.
As I watch this, a west bound 'brown worm' on the BNSF Lampasas sub passes through the farm. Good stuff. The only time I see KCS/KCSdeMexico is when they're part of a lashup on the BNSF.
I think it would be cool if they did a heritage unit...or 2 of the white with red KCS and red numbers on an old 70mac. or a grey ghost or 2 with the yellow stripes on an ac44.
Great Video! I'm planning to visit the Rich Mountain area next week. I might have missed it in the video, but do you know roughly how many trains run through there a day? I'm not expecting a ton, but I would like to see more than just two or three.
I want to say 15-20 a day. Best strategy in my opinion is to wait in either Mena or Heavener and chase across the whole mountain. There's usually always something in the yard in Heavener waiting to head out.

Been wanting to create a large production on Rich Mountain for a long time now! Y'all enjoy and have a good Sunday!
May be worthwhile to perhaps go to DVD with this one...your productions are that damned good! As CP looks to be the new owner eventually of KCS! :)
Thanks for featuring my favorite KCS.

I have some sheers in my vehicle that have come in handy on multiple occasions. Thanks for the tip!

1887-2021, 134 years, it was a good run KCS. You'll be missed: Canadian Pacific to buy Kansas City Southern for $25 billion: FT | Reuters
Excellent stuff as usual! Keep it up
Will do! Thanks for watching!

Would love to stay at the lodge there one day.
Whos here after hearing the KCS/ CN buyout?

Train crews beware of KCS management officers.
Hey Roy tell it like it is to work on the KCS with rejects running the KCS
what was the number of that grey GP38-2 switching with 1917?
It was a 1900 series. I can't remember the specific number.

Maybe find a better place to share this. Preferably somewhere that has to do with the message.
