KCS 1 South, Rich Mountain, Arkansas. June 2022

This is something you've probably seen from me before. I recently went through and combed through some older photos from this year looking for a particular scene, and while doing so I came across my shot of the KCS business train on Rich Mountain in Arkansas last year. In passing I decided to overhaul my edit after noticing several things I didn't like with it. This is my re-edited version that I feel like represents the scene much better than what I had before. To be on Rich Mountain that morning was something not even a few days beforehand I thought possible. For me personally the KCS Business train is the top of the food chain in the railroad world; and Rich Mountain is the scenic highlight of this trains operating territory. Some people would complain about the lack of sun for this morning southbound. I, however, loved the stormy weather we had. There's something to be said about rainy weather and the mountains. With the upcoming CPKC merger this trainset is on extremely borrowed time, and getting out for it is a real treat. Thanks also to David Perkins land clearing services for the tree trimming project the prior day. Your spotter, and everyone who got this shot thanks you...

 

Thanks again for viewing and reading!
