Sunday Business Tip
Kansas City Southern's Business train is southbound on the former KCS now CPKC's Pittsburg Subdivision passing through an S-Curve just south of Richards Missouri. The train running under CPKC Symbol D40B-13 and led by KCS 1, an EMD FP9, is heading back home to Shreveport Louisiana after spending the last few days in Kansas City Missouri doing corporate events in the area.
After finding this train in Cleveland Missouri right as the sun was raising above the horizon and shooting it for the first time just south of Amsterdam Missouri the real chase began. Trying to get ahead of this train on unfamiliar territory was quite the challenge, but nothing the Nomad couldn't handle. After getting ahead of the train somewhere around Hume MO we felt we had some time to do some quick drive by scouting of some potential shots, but all were still to shadowed this early in the morning. But as we rolled through just south of Richards MO we came across a nicely lit slight S-Curve and decided this would be the best shot for the time being, since we knew the train would be showing up momentarily. About 30 seconds after the vehicle was put in park this shot was taken, then the chase continued south for another 8 hours through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
