But, unlike a recent shot, no cows today. Still, a pretty view as the Empress approaches the Ark 59S crossing in Gentry. Id not get another shot at him til Gravette, due to idiots pacing the engine along Ark 59, which runs adjacent to the tracks for the six miles to Decatur. I get the appeal of the moving parts of a steam engine at speed, but get 60 seconds of the action, then move on so youre not holding up a couple dozen other fans who want to get ahead of the train, not to mention disinterested locals who just want to go about their day without being caught up in a lot of unnecessary congestion.
