KCS SD40-2 652
Title:  KCS SD40-2 652
Description:  Kansas City Southern SD40-2 652 was the railroad's first gray locomotive, completed at Shreveport at the beginning of April 1988; and when it was photographed outside the diesel shop at West Yard almost two years alter, gray units were still pretty uncommon. The other locomotives in this set of SD40-2's were snoot 690, the 649 and snoot 679. Quartets of 6-axle power were really unusual in New Orleans.

Southbound KCS Train
Title:  Southbound KCS Train
Description:  A southbound Kansas City Southern train was rolling by the former depot in DeQuincy, Louisiana behind SD40-2 652, SD60 722 and SD60 746 with 105 cars. The 652 was the first locomotive to receive the railroad's gray paint scheme, completed on 5 April 1988. By the time this photo was taken, the depot had become a railroad museum.
