Five grays
Title:  Five grays
Description:  With all the attention given to the new Belle scheme, its easy to overlook that the gray units are slowly disappearing. One has to remember, this was considered a great improvement over the white dip that KCS used for so long. This southbound H reain has picked up the local power at Watts for a trip to Heavener for servicing, making for five gray units, a sight that has become unusual.

Around the curve
Title:  Around the curve
Description:  The M train has picked up 24 cars along with the dodger power, and pulls around the curve toward MP 237 to clear the interlocking at South Watts to get back to his train. The late afternoon sun glints off the four axle power KCS uses on locals. Theyve acquired quite a few GEs as road power in the last 20 years. As I look at the GPs used for locals, I have to wonder what a KCS four motor GE might look like, a B 23-7, say.
