Canadian Pacific EB Transfer CP 8163 8162 8168 8173 Olive St. Kansas City Missouri

About the most visually impressive locomotive consist you could ask for, (maybe not so much if you’re not a fan of the Canadian Pacific or GE locomotives), a four unit set of freshly rebuilt AC4400CWM’s, the 8163, 8162, 8168 and 8173 lead a morning transfer from BNSF’s Argentine Yard to Kansas City Southern’s Knoche Yard in northeast Kansas City. April 3, 2021

 

With the sun now higher, the eastbound transfer has reached Kansas City Southern rails and is shown at Milepost 2.0, the Olive Street Crossing roughly a mile west of KCS’s Knoche Yard. This location has long been a favorite among Kansas City rail photographers for the ability to incorporate K.C.’s city skyline in the background, the favorable morning lighting and it’s ease of access.
