Southbound KCS Business Passenger Train at Drexel, MO

The Belle, KCS Train B-KCSH-06 flies back south through Drexel behind the A-B-A set of F-Units bound for Shreveport on the KCS Pittsburg Sub. with a deadhead move after an inspection trip.

 

The run was made for incoming Executive Vice President-Operations John Orr, recently hired off the CN to backfill Jeffrey Songer's position after being moved to Executive Vice President-Strategic Merger Planning in conjunction with the prospective CP acquisition.

 

This was almost 13 years to the day after I graduated from high school in this town and time flies faster than those covered wagons screaming south. A well placed stack of ties offered us a more unique vantage point of the Drexel Elevator than previous trips.

 

Locomotives: KCS 1, KCS 3, KCS 2
