Roadrailer Memories in KC
From November 1st of 2014, one of my last shots of the day involved a sloooow speed "race" towards Santa Fe Junction between NS Train 267/BNSF Q-KCKSAG and a southbound BNSF grainer for the Ft. Scott Sub. The grain train is out of view in this image, but you can see it here: flic.kr/p/oY95XG
While on the NS, the Roadrailer had been powered by just the trailing SD70, but the no. 2661 was placed on the head end at NS' Avondale Yard in North KC. I know that at the time I was upset about the power situation, but these days, I'd just be happy to photograph ANY of these trains rolling through Santa Fe Junction, regardless of the leader.
Speaking of the power on this train, the SD70M-2 was sold to Progress Rail in March, 2021, and the SD70 (2551) was rebuilt in October, 2019 by Progress Rail in Muncie, IN as SD70ACC no. 1837!
