Kansas City Southern was one of the creators of and stock holder in the railroad. In 2005, KCS bought out its partners and took full control of the railroad. The name was changed to Kansas City Southern de Mexico, a subsidiary of Kansas City Southern. The subsidiary had its own fleet in the Retro Belle scheme, but with "de Mexico" printed on the unit. Here is an ES44AC sporting that paint scheme. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A loaded eastbound UP oil train, and a westbound BNSF Denver-Provo. As it happens, the two trains met at Flat, between Sulphur and Kremmling. The BNSF manifest took the siding, although it was really close to a rolling meet as the two trains each knocked down their respective ends of Flat at close to the same time.

Indeed, the oil train has already knocked down the light at the west end of Flat. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
