Railspot Rarity #16
Dennis Hogan
Arkansas, Oklahoma & Western RR was dubbed "The Fruit Belt Line."
It spanned from Rogers AR to Siloam Springs with a planned extension to Pryor Creek OK. It offered twice daily passenger service in each direction in 1910. Now you know. [ORG 1910]

Re: Amtrak's Least Used Stations
Gene Poon
Several of his "least used stations" were served by triweekly trains only, in the timeframe he uses. One is seasonal-only. Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Least Used goes to…
Altus, OK!!!!! Ohhh, wait… Sorry we don’t have that brand name coming thru here…. I was thinking that the Quanah Express (QE) from STL, MO which meets with the TZ (FTW - DEN) fame in Quanah, TX! ….but, just that it only exists in the mind of a modeler who has that imagination that it would have been nice. 😊 What a thought and concept. Hmmmm. Seeeeeeee Yaaaaaaaaaaaa, Lol 😃 73’s, Ron R AF5AS Altus, OK Sent from Windows Mail
Guess which one is #1?

Trick or Treat book special
texaszephyr
I have six copies of my "Passenger Trains of Texas - Rock Island" book that have extremely minor bumped corners on the book cover. All are still shrink wrapped but experienced minor damage during shipping. Other than the minor bumped corners there is nothing else wrong with them.
As a result I'm offering these for only $45.00 each and that includes shipping and sales tax. Please keep in mind that there are only six copies. If interested please contact me direct off list and reserve a copy. These are NOT listed on my website. Payment: Personal check or money order only. No credit cards and no PayPal. When these six are spoken for that's it. The list price is $59.95 plus $6.00 shipping, plus 8.25% state sales tax. So here a way to save $26.39. Please contact me direct at texaszephyr@sw.rr.com if you want one of these slightly bumped books. TZ

All MoPac power was non dynamic with the exception of the SD40-2 units purchased for coal train service. The units they got from C&EI had the dynamics disabled when merged into the fleet. SPfan

Re: Meanwhile, along the Border...

I have it as Ex-UPB 4133, nee-MP 3133. MoPac SD40-2 were built without dynamic brakes. I would have to look it up but I think I rode behind that unit with its MP number in UP paint on Amtrak 2 the Sunset Limited. It was picked up in El Paso after one of our Amtrak units, an F40PH, belched out all its cooling water in Arizona.
