70MAC on a Rail Train
After waiting for the Eureka Transfer to clear, KCS 3961 belches smoke into the air as it gets back up to speed at Chaney Jct in west Houston. The former SP searchlights can be seen over the first car.
KCS's fleet of former TFM SD70MAC's, at least those that haven't been sold or retired, have been pushed into work train service by CPKC. So when hearing that one is coming, it's not unusual to see it pulling a ballast or rail train like this.
