Nomad of Mid-America
From the Banks of the Baron Fork
Calming rays of the morning sun greet Baron Fork of extreme eastern Oklahoma and the truss and deck spans that stand above its gentle waters, atop which a threesome serving rear distributed power duty transition from whining dynamics to traction power to keep their 2CKCSH09 on the move towards Stilwell on Kansas City Southern's undulating Heavener Subdivision. The rearmost two belles were added at Pittsburg, KS, for the difficult terrain to be encountered in Arkansas and Oklahoma, increasing the pulling and restraining forces for these coal loads ultimately bound for one of the country's most productive coal-fired generating stations at Martin Lake, TX.
