Canadian Pacific EB Transfer CP 8163 8162 8168 8173 Old Union Depot Int'l 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

 

Just a mile and a half from the previous location, the four CP AC4400CWM’s are barely squeezing by the low light shadows at Old Union Depot Interlocking where Kansas City’s original Union Station, operated between 1878-1914 once stood, (in the open space above and behind the first three locomotives). At this point, the transfer is roughly half way between BNSF’s Argentine Yard and KCS’s Knoche Yard.
