OK Dodger
After swapping ends and with a now more appropriate leader for the territory, the Fort Smith Dodger spots a few grain hoppers at the OK Foods feedmill just south of downtown Fort Smith. This small yard is the only part of the current Fort Smith Branch that was originally KCS, as most of the branch was a Frisco secondary line (part of the same line as the current-day Arkansas & Missouri) that they picked up from the BN in the 1980s allowing the abandonment of their original branch that split from the mainline at Spiro, Oklahoma. OK Foods is one of the main customers that keeps the branch in business, along with interchange business with the A&M and Fort Smith Railroad.
