| Description: |
By the time this photo was taken under the train washer at West Yard, Kansas City Southern SD40-2 642 - one of the railroad's two bicentennial units - was so filthy one could barely tell what colors it wore; but the cab was purple! |

KCS SD40-2 648 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern SD40-2 648 was on a set of power parked on the New Orleans Public Belt near Carrollton Avenue. The locomotive was an early SD40-2 - having been built in November 1972 - and had been overhauled shortly after its fifteenth birthday. It received this white paint job – complete with larger easy-to-read cab numbers - on 20 October 1988, six months after the railroad had introduced its gray paint scheme. In fact, it was the second to last unit to receive the white scheme. SD40-2 643 had been repainted gray on 28 March 1991 and still wore its nose-mounted OSCITROL signal light as well as ditch lights.. |

KCS Accident |
| Description: |
Nothing draws a crowd like an accident, and here was one along the Kansas City Southern about three miles west (railroad north) from this train’s destination at West Yard, just outside of New Orleans. A southbound train with SD40-2 650 and SD40 622 had just hit a Dickies work clothes rental service truck at the intersection of Clearview Parkway and Airline Highway (U.S. 61) and was waiting for the state trooper (next to the coupler) to finish his investigation. Signor had been a team track along the KCS and its predecessors for over 50 years, but it disappeared in 1985 when the KCS began using a nearby ICG line and abandoned this track. The ICG had a grade separation at Clearview Parkway, which eliminated problems like this. |

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. |

KCS 712 and 656 |
| Description: |
On Thursday morning 28 March 2002 Kansas City Southern northbound intermodal train No. 10 struck an 18-wheeler loaded with concrete piles at the Louisiana Concrete Products grade crossing in Baton Rouge. This photo was taken three days later, and shows the train’s first two engines parked on the BATON ROUGE MORNING ADVOCATE newspaper plant siding. The damage to the train’s lead unit, SD50 712, is obvious; while the second unit, SD40-2 656, had a gash on the engineer’s side of its fuel tank. The train’s third unit, SD40M-2 626, was unharmed, as was the crew. |

KCS Train No. 53 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern train 53 - running as Extra 657 South - was crossing the entrance to the Airline Drive-In Theater about a mile from its destination at New Orleans' WEST YARD. The second unit was F9Am 4053, and when this photo was taken, F-units and older geeps had recently began running with SD's on the line into New Orleans. I was told this was a fuel conservation measure, but it also released SD's for use elsewhere on the railroad. Before long, the usual power became a trio of newer geeps or a GP-slug-GP set. |
