Yard Shots Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern
A Military Special came into Denver off the Limon Sub overnight. It crossed the Belt Main and entered the Main Track at CP DS002. After pulling down to Fox Junction, the crew on the train was ready to depart south on the Joint Line for Fort Carson. But BNSF wasn't ready for the train! With Amtrak coming, the train had to make a reverse move to get in the clear in the North Yard Siding. That worked out well for me as I got a shot of it backing down the main.

I always enjoy running across the occasional "Retro Belle" SD70ACe. I'm really happy that Kansas City Southern has reintroduced this classic scheme as I find it to be one of the sharpest schemes on railroads today.

Front Range (BNSF) Kansas City Southern, BNSF
There has been massive flooding in the Omaha, NE area this summer. Consequently, BNSF has rerouted a lot of traffic through Colorado. As a part of the reroutes, several coal empties have run north on the Front Range Sub. Here, one waits for the dispatcher to allow the train to proceed into Broomfield for a meet.

A Kansas City Southern Retro-Belle SD70ACe hangs out near the house at BNSF's 38th Street Yard. A bit of snow has piled up on the front of the unit.

Yard Shots Kansas City Southern de Mexico
Wow! This unit hasn't been around too terribly long and it has already been beat up quite a bit. This is a Kansas City Southern de Mexico SD70ACe in the "Retro Belle" scheme on the Denver to Kansas City manifest.

I have always been a fan of Kansas City Southern. Probably because the railroad was very similar in size to the Rio Grande and yet it has survived and even grown into the 21st Century

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Kansas City Southern
After its long trip from Stockton, CA, this eastbound BNSF trackage rights train is just 10 miles away from its own tracks! UP's DS-86 put it in the hole at Leyden because BNSF's 31st Street Yard doesn't have room for the train yet. A sharp-looking Kansas City Southern Retro-Belle leads the train.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Kansas City Southern
After meeting the Rocky Local at Rocky, this eastbound BNSF trackage rights train (the QSTDVJ) with a Retro-Belle KCS leader has an approaching diverging (yellow-over-yellow) signal on the approach to Leyden. There, the train will meet a few westbounds before heading into town.

Kansas City Southern's Retro-Belle scheme was popular with fans from the moment it was released. It is based on an old scheme KCS used in the 1950s called the Southern Belle. Here, KCS 4116 is being leased by BNSF and is leading the Stockton to Denver manifest down the Front Range, over the Moffat.

It was bound to happen sooner or later and on this day, it finally did! One of Kansas City Southern's new Retro-Belle units led a train over the Moffat. BNSF's Stockton to Denver (QSTDVJ) had KCS 4116 as the leader, as seen here coming into the siding at Rocky. The train would stop to meet the Rocky Local before continuing east.

Front Range (BNSF) Kansas City Southern de Mexico
This AC4400CW was originally lettered as TFM. However, since the KCS acquisition, the unit has been re-lettered as "KCS de Mexico". Note the "de Mexico" on the long hood as well as on the KCS herald on the front of the nose.

BNSF's eastbound Denver to Galesburg, IL manifest knocks know an Approach (yellow) signal at the west end of Irondale. The train, led by KCS SD70ACe 4008, is hot on the tail of a coal empty.

Yard Shots Kansas City Southern
A cab shot of KCS 4059 at BNSF's 38th Street Yard. Kansas City Southern ordered 60 new SD70ACes from EMD, and this was the unit from that delivery. KCS has subsequently ordered another 50 SD70ACes that will be numbered 4060 to 4129.

This is the first shot of Kansas City Southern's Retro-Belle scheme on the website here. Came across the freshly painted SD70ACe at BNSF's 38th Street Yard being moved from a fuel track to a ready track.

There aren't many white Kansas City Southern units left in the world. This was always my personal favorite scheme for the railroad, so I was happy to come across this SD40-2, even if it is looking a little bit shoddy!
