FP9's Roaring Out of Ashdown

KCS B-KCLR has just stopped in the small town of Ashdown, Arkansas, to let a few people off, and is now floating along at 60mph leaving town. The combined KCS and CP business train was in the middle of a multi-day run to show chief executives of Kansas City Southern and Canadian Pacific Railroads the main line from Kansas City, Mo, to the border crossing with KCSM at Laredo, TX. David Perkins and I followed the train from Heavaner, Oklahoma, to Sugar Land, Texas over two days this past week. On the way north we saw this stretch of track and David suggested pacing may be a good idea through here. He was right... We both ended up with some great shots of the business train as they left town, and quickly got back up to track speed. Thanks again to David for taking us up. This was one for the books with the beautiful KCS business train down the line.

 

Thanks for looking and enjoy!
