Rare sight |
| Description: |
The KCS had 70 of these SD70MACs lettered for TFM. Not long after I moved to Siloam, they started to renumber and reletter them KCS, putting them in the 3900 series. Now, almost ten years into that program, there are still a few TFM units left, but not very many. I was in the right place at the right moment to catch this one on the rear of a TXUX coal train, along with a KCSM unit assisting the through road power. |

Caught up |
| Description: |
Usually, with a southbound, if I shot him at the north end of Dorsey, I couldnt beat him to Gentry, though sometimes especially heavy trains would bog down coming into Decatur, and again on the short hump at MP 219. The 82 cars must have been really holding them back, as I was able to get this shot at Floyd Moore Rd, just north of Gentry. |
