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.

Power by the tower
Title:  Power by the tower
Description:  A northbound NLKC with a big power set rolls 78 cars past the Siloam water tower. There are quite a few Belles in this consist, unusual at the time, as there were not yet many, and they were scattered.

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.

Lucky
Title:  Lucky
Description:  We were on the first leg of a trip to Ohio, running north on MO 59 to reach Joplin, when I spied this southbound H train coming into Anderson. I was hoping for one of the new ET44s, but no such luck. Still, a good looking set of power.
