Enjoy contemporary diesel railroading in the Ouachita Mountains of Oklahoma and Arkansas as the Kansas City Southern lugs trains over the steep mountain grade of Rich Mountain.

This is big time railroading as you will follow the KCS on the steepest part of the entire system, with steep grades and lots of curves between Heavener, Oklahoma, and Mena, Arkansas.

You’ll see a variety of trains, including coal trains, grain trains, and general merchandise. If you enjoy heavy-duty mainline railroading, then this program is for you!
