Northbound KCS Special Business Train - The Southern Belle  Contributor's Pick!       
The KCS Southern Belle runs up the KCS Pittsburg Sub. with the F-Units on the point and 12 cars behind, 11 of them matching. The train is headed for Kansas City. It will head back south tomorrow at 13:00. Some KCS Management apparently wanted to go to the BCS Game in New Orleans, so the train was summoned to go get them. What better way than to ride in style?

George Redmond General Nice angle, Good Shot. 1/4/2008 7:48:51 PM
J. Williams General Great Shot! 1/4/2008 8:20:10 PM
David Mead General Very well chosen location. Wonderful clean locos and you were able to get the complete train in one frame. Certainly a luxury looking train and well cared for. KCS staff know how to travel then! 1/5/2008 6:00:27 AM
Joe Magruder General I saw it on both the northbound and southbound trips. The engineer apparently didn't use the oscillating headlight on this trip. It was also off when it came by me around 12 miles south of this location. 1/9/2008 8:14:24 PM
Mike Kirsch General Nice catch, Zach!!!! 1/26/2008 11:35:06 PM
