Been wanting to do this shot for a long time
Title:  Been wanting to do this shot for a long time
Description:  The ex Frisco station at Fayetteville is nicely kept, and is home to several non rail businesses-a Chipotle among them-just off Dickson St. I was farther uptown, having just finished lunch at Mermaids, when I heard a horn on a southbound. I beat feet for the station, thinking I might catch this train with a little luck. The railfan gods were smiling, as the crew had "gone to beans" as it were, in this case, Chipotle carry out. I got him going past the station with a pair of Alcos and ten car.

Right time
Title:  Right time
Description:  We were in Springdale, headed up to Rogers, and decided to take US 71B, the main drag through town. When we got to Randall Wobbe Rd, we decided to take a short detour to see if there was any action at the A&M yard. The local was just backing over the crossing as we pulled up, catching the train shoving a short cut of cars into a siding.

Pushed back
Title:  Pushed back
Description:  The local has made the shove back into a yard track, and will be pulling up again, once he spots the cut he's working. The track and switches make an interesting pattern.

Done for now
Title:  Done for now
Description:  The local has pushed all the way back into the yard, as seemed to be holding for a few minutes. They'll have to come back out to get the cars off the main track, as the Monett Turn will be returning some time in the next hour or so. I was lucky to have showed up at just the right five minutes to see some action.
