KCS 704, Texarkana, TX
KCS's first SD50 is about one year old in this 1982 view yet all 3 units are remarkably clean for a RR with a white paint scheme accented by those unique striped handrails. The train is stopped at the small KCS yard in Texarkana and may be waiting on a clear signal from Cotton Belt Tower to proceed south.
The KCS purchased 10 new SD50's (704-713) and would later acquire 23 more former Conrail SD50's.
