New DPUs
Title:  New DPUs
Description:  One all dressed up, the other still in its skivvies. The EMDs came from the plant already painted, while the GEs arrived in primer, and were painted as they had time. I recall when NS did the same thing, and there were a lot of "undecorated" units rolling around the system in the early years of the millennium. I like the painted power better, but, they all run!! These two are pushing a grain train south at the north end of Stilwell.

Good mix
Title:  Good mix
Description:  During the years prior to the KCS getting dozens of new diesels, there was a motley assortment of older power, some KCS, some hand me down. We see a southbound approaching Lincoln Av with some of each. A pair of consecutively numbered Belles are in the lead, with a pair of ex TFM units, consecutively numbered SDP40s in different paint schemes trailing on this Q train with 50 freight and 10 stacks in tow.

After the engine made the wost possible mechanical noise that I can imagine and seized up, the aftermath continues to flame out. This is from the end of Waldron Avenue.
