KCS GP40 794 |
| Description: |
Here is an 800-gallon auxiliary fuel tank on Kansas City Southern GP40 794, previously Illinois Central Gulf 3058. It was located between the front truck and the 2600-gallon factory-installed fuel tank. The "60-17" stencil on the truck would indicate that the locomotive was still fitted with 76 MPH gearing, and not the usual 62-15 65 MPH gear ratio. The KCS installed these tanks on at least seven of the 19 ex-ICG GP40's it purchased in 1981. |

| Title: |
KCS GP40 794 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern 794 was previously Illinois Central Gulf 3058 and was photographed at West Yard, just outside of New Orleans. It was one of 19 former IC/ICG GP40's acquired in 1982, when they came off lease. All but one of those units arrived with 2600-gallon fuel tanks, but the KCS has added an 800-gallon auxiliary fuel tank added between the 794's front truck and the as-built tank. |
