Backwards Belle
Because the dome car on KCS's Southern Belle business train would not fit under the chutes at Bartlett Grain in Jacksonville, Ill. the train could not turn on the loop there. Instead, the F units ran around the loop and pulled the train backwards to Roodhouse, where everything was put back in proper order. This provided a rare chance to catch FP9 KCS 2 heading the train, seen heading down the Jacksonville - Murrayville branch.
