| On our way to Paragould to meet the "Shiloh Express", we found the "MP Heritage" unit in the engine service area of the Marion Intermodal Facility. |
 |
| In Paragould we discovered this pair of leased locomotives working. |
 |
| This caboose is painted up to celebrate the original railroad to Paragould, the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern which arrived here in 1883. Today this community is served by the Union Pacific, successor of the Missouri Pacific and St. Louis Southwestern which shared trackage here. |
 |
| The first through train that we saw in Paragould was this vehicle train with a CSX unit on the point. |

| UP844 left Marion earlier than announced. I had an early appointment with our realtor and left as quickly after that. In an attempt to chase UP844 from Memphis to Little Rock, I got off I40 at Brinkley and headed for the SSW trackage toward Pine Bluff. I found this train in Stuttgart. However, I never saw UP844. |

| Jan had a committee meeting in downtown Tulsa. I dropped her off and headed for Cherokee Yard in West Tulsa. This trimmer set was my first action. |
 |
| This pair of locomotives is returning from switching the industries along the Avard Sub, including the refinery. |
 |
| Next came this westbound freight which entered the yard. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Next was a very unusual unit, a GP38-2B coupled to a GP39 working as trimmers. |
 |
 |
 |
| The next train was an empty Western Electrics unit coal train coming out of the yard. |
 |
 |
| This pair of locomotives are seen again without their cars. |
 |
| A military train is seen rounding the curve off the Avard Sub. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The next train was a unit steel coil train approaching from the east and heading out the Avard Sub. |
 |

 |
 |
| The last train was this loaded unit coal train entering the yard from the east. |
