Kansas City Terminal Railway at Kansas City, MO
It's 0500 on the day after Christmas and I'm headed home after a 5 hour trip back from Wellington on a Z2. With the sky conditions I decided to stop at Santa Fe Jct. and take a couple pictures of the endangered searchlight signals.
After decades of authorizing trains across the KCT, the last strongholds of these are starting to fall roughly 8-12 years after many of their siblings were replaced. A pair of routes are lined through, up 79 and up 80 Track on the KCT North-South Corridor. The skies are cloudy and misty. It's quiet other than the distant rumble of an idling DPU's prime mover and spitter valves. One day, probably sooner than I'd like to think, this will be a bygone visual.
