Kansas City Southern-Over the Mountain

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!

Queen Wilhelmina atop Rich Mountain up Hiway 88 from Mena has a beautiful lodge and view from the state park . A great attraction to visit .

What a great train chase video! So much to unpack here boy those aluminum cars sure are quiet when they’re empty, and those painted covered hoppers with all their pretty colors on them that’s just not cheap it’s nice to see the railroad taking pride in its brand! Also I believe the police car at Mena is a 1939.

Kansas City Southern is truly one of these greatest railroads like Norfolk Southern.

I remember seeing ads for this video while reading A Trains magazines as a kid! Glad I found this since it reminds me of times before the merger even though KCS (up until the merger) didn’t run into Chicago!

[@25vrd48]

Very good video , just imagine taking a passenger train from Kansas City to Houston , Texas on that railroad . Beautiful sights to see . Great ending of the video to end in Mena , Arkansas a little town known around the world by hot rodders thanks the Brodix Company manufacturers of aluminum cylinder heads and blocks .

It is wild to see full programs make it to youtube. i remember the good old days of buying DVDs. Your video of Galesburg (The Trains of Galesburg) is still one of my favorites i physically own.

I miss seeing grey ghosts that are not in the De Mexico variant

[@petenielsen3453]

In actual time, how long between trains?

[@RailwayProductions]

Being a single track line they tended to "fleet" them in a single direction. The fuel racks in Heavener can hold two train in each direction at a time. So we'd get two northbound then two southbound etc. So sometimes one could wait in a spot and get a couple of trains a few minutes from each other, and other times you could wait an hour and a half.

[@MJMYouTuber]

I think it will soon merge with the Canadian pacific into CPKC aka Canadian Pacific Kansas City!

[@RailwayProductions]

Yes, April 15 is the day

[@MJMYouTuber]

@@RailwayProductions yup and just like they did the other two railroads before!!!

[@railfanningpros1301]

When was this filmed?

[@RailwayProductions]

This was shot in 2009.

[@railfanningpros1301]

@@RailwayProductions The locations where this was shot have changed a lot. Very cool video.

Goodbye Kansas City Southern

[@petenielsen3453]

These cars must newer. No paint work on them

[@RailwayProductions]

I'm assuming that you mean the covered hoppers. Yes, in 2009 they were new. When I did the Heavener sub program in 2021 (not yet on KZbin, but the prewiew is) they were tired-looking.
