Going away shot of DPU treat

I was on my way to Costco on Interstate 35 and saw this train stopped on the Fort Scott Sub. When I saw this Ferromex unit, time for a detour. I had seen one or two of these before, but they were not shootable. On this day, I knew that would not be the case. BNSF SD70ACe #8544 and Ferromex ES44AC #4651 serve as DPUs inside a northbound BNSF empty coal train (144 cars) on the Ft Scott Sub at 25th St in KCMO.

 

My opinion on the Ferromex new paint scheme:

Absolutely, positively, outstanding. On a scale of 0-10, its a 10+ with me. Too bad its not leading and catching one of these leading around here is going to be almost impossible.
