Dont see these much here
Title:  Dont see these much here
Description:  End cabs are still around on the KCS, though most often seen in the big yards or where there is a lot of switching done. We rarely see them on this part of the railroad. This one must be in transit somewhere. It was on the northbound H train.

Title:  Slowing for the switch
Description:  H SHKC slows to take the switch into the siding at Watts, where it will set off and pick up. The construction in the foreground is for the US 59 widening project, which is now starting work through Watts to connect the 4 lane sections on either side of town.
