Lite power going away  Contributor's Pick!       
Because the heavy trains tend to run south, more power winds up in Heavener than is needed for northbound trains. Thus, sometimes a lite power move is done to get all those DPUs back to Pittsburg for another push over the grades on the subdivision. This is one such move, seen going away as it approaches Watts.
