Of course, both these units are now owned by CPKC, the first (and so far only) railroad to span from Canada to Mexico. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

KCS 4548 is actually a KCS de Mexico unit, and one of the few-remaining gray units on the roster. Of course, both units are now under the CPKC banner and, eventually, will be repainted accordingly.

Most likely, BNSF will turn this train over to Kansas City Southern (now CPKC) someplace further east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

There is an NS "catfish", a KCS SD70ACe, and a rather rare gray KCSM AC4400CW. The gray KCSM unit has been significantly tagged and is looking a bit grungy.

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.

With manned helpers replaced by DPUs, and the disappearance of coal, it is a bit more quiet. But not totally inactive. An eastbound Herzog ballast train removes some mid-train swing helpers, leaving them in the yard. Meanwhile, power from a westbound oil empty that arrived the day before sits waiting for its next assignment in the yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A westbound oil train moves away from the camera, crossing underneath I-70, headed toward a clear (green) signal at east Whitehouse.

The power will be taken to Helper to await the return trip east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In addition to a Warbonnet on the head end, this Kansas City Southern de Mexico ES44AC was one of two DPUs on the tail end. KCS units are rare enough in Colorado, but KCSdM units even more so!

The power on the train was quite a delightful surprise! A pair of Kansas City Southern units - the sole power on the train - take it west. Even though the train is empty, the two units are working hard to keep the train moving. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
