Kansas City Southern (KCS) 2014 - EMD GP38-2

Many engines with different stories ready to come to an end here.

When the northbound empty TXUX train didnt start once the H train cleared the north switch at Stilwell, it caused me to miss the shot of the Belle leader at the station. Heres why the northbound didnt get the signal: this light power move south, coming into town about 15 minutes behind the H train.

A northbound H train rolls under the water tower as it rolls through town.

KCS 2014 was in the KCS yards at Slater, MO on 7-20-2014. Unit does not have dynamic brakes. Previous number unknown.

KCS 2014 is parked in the KCS yards at Slater, MO on 8-03-2014. This engine is still painted in the grey with yellow stripes and red letters scheme, and has the squared air filter box, no dynamic brakes.

Two gray KCS units sit in the small yard at Slater MO between local jobs.

The two KCS geeps back the two Wabash units and its train into a storage track on the NS. The shot that I was wanting, I was'nt able to get. When the two KCS units disconnected from the F-units it started raining. So would'nt that be my luck. One other railfan though managed to stay out in the rain shoot it, so he got the money shot.

Running west between Louisiana and Bowling Green along US Hwy 54.

CESX 1951

Two KCS geeps leads the two F-units 1950 & 1951 across the Mississippi into Missouri for the trip to Mexico to hand over to the NS.

A brief stop at Mid America car, Reviled this find of KCS 2014 along with MPX 192 scale test car.

Since the NRE Genset Demonstrator is in town, I figured I'd take a shot of it before it leaves.
