Southern Belle Swan Song - Final Day, pt. 9
KCS SW1500 no. 4349 pulls down into the east end of Knoche Yard for a new cut of cars to sort, as the late afternoon sun lights the scene beautifully.
This was on the KCS' final day of operations, and this particular yard crew had just rolled by the business train, freshly polished GE's, and tents filled with local dignitaries that were being courted (flic.kr/p/2otb8iM), all while they just went about their jobs as usual, though with the added stress of having 300 bosses less than a mile away, along with all of the local news channels, and railfans like me hanging out to watch. I can only imagine what a weird day it must have been for all of these crews.
