Getting Beaved

On my way west for the cab ride of a lifetime, I sought out some carriers that I have never photographed.

 

The KB&S is one such road. It was a Sunday evening and the railroad was quiet. Crews were home enjoying family time while the railroad's power rested for work on Monday.

 

The track layout near the office intrigued me. I can only imagine what this line was like to fan when Alcos ruled the rails. Like some of you, I am kicking my own ass for not visiting this unique railroad when 251 prime movers belched spent diesel.

 

A quick stop by the shops allowed me to get beaved by a pair of former GP40s, now normally aspirated. They certainly are not the RS-11s or C420s that once called these tracks home.

 

Live and learn!
