These new engines were seen crossing HWY 425, Tuesday, after the washed-out sections of track between Collins and Dermott, due to recent flooding, had been repaired.

The engines belong to a sister company of Arkansas Midland; Dallas, Garland, & Northeastern, based out of Texas. Both are subsidiaries of Genesee Wyoming Railroad.

The section of Meadowview Drive, commonly known as “Western Pines Dip” is now open for traffic, and is no longer a small spillway.

The change was made to improve drainage, as well as to reduce driver complaints.
