Grain from EastLouis
A pair of KCS-family SD70MACs ease their way towards Kansas City off of the old GM&O line from St. Louis. This is a westbound at Rock Creek Junction in Independence, MO, and the train was headed towards KCS' Knoche Yard.
Three years after TFM was formed in 1996, they acquired these new units, and the 1623 continued to serve until it was involved in a head-on wreck in Keithville, Louisiana on December 30, 2013. As it was a BNSF train, the BNSF ended up taking possession of this unit, and trading KCS for a 70MAC of their own! More info on this transaction can be see here: flic.kr/p/yw4ppT
