The hogger at the throttle of KCS 1 has the throttle wide open following an unscheduled stop in Ashdown, Arkansas. The ABA set of F Units is in charge of a multi-day inspection trip that is a sign of things to come. The rails they travel over are a conveyor belt of Mexican bound rail traffic that is the nucleolus for the merger between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern. This trip hosted CP CEO Keith Creel and his senior leadership team all the way down the KCS to the international gateway in Laredo, Texas. Pacing this trainset from a dead stop in Ashdown was pretty sweet. It was one of the few times I've heard them run this train notched all the way out, and the sound was sublime. Getting a pacing shot out of the trip was quite the bonus addition to an already great lineup of photographs taken. This is also quite easily the longest I've ever followed a single train. We started that morning in Heavaner, Oklahoma, and ended the following day in Sugarland, Texas, south and west of Houston. This is, of course, another re-edit from a few months ago where I'm attempting to rectify some of the shortcomings I personally had with the hastily posted prior version.
Thanks again as always for looking and reading!
