KCS No. 91 |
| Description: |
Kansas City Southern SD40-2 675, SD40 607 and SD40-2 681 were the radio-control slave units on southbound coal train No. 91 at Siloam Springs, Arkansas while the locomotives on the front were KCS 661, BN 7268, KCS 639 and BN 5109. The coal originated on the BN in Wyoming's Powder River Basin, and the train was delivered to the KCS in Kansas City. No. 91 was headed for Southwestern Electric Power's Welsh Power Plant near Mount Pleasant, Texas, along the railroad's Texas Subdivision. |

KCS 608 Southbound |
| Description: |
Between August 1970 and August 1971, the Kansas City Southern operated unit coal trains from the Howe Coal Co. mine just north of Heavener, Arkansas to the railroad’s new coal export terminal at Port Arthur, Texas using a fleet of 75 six-axle 150-ton rotary-dump gondolas. Here is one of the last of these trains heading south at Bloomburg, Texas (milepost 507) with SD40's 608, 607 and 604 on the head end and 621 as the mid-train slave unit. The mine began working in 1968 and coal initially moved to New Orleans in 100-ton hopper cars for shipment to Japan, but the mine had some serious problems which created difficult mining conditions and these caused its early closure. The cars spent most of their career in Louisiana hauling woodchips to Baton Rouge. |

Retired SD40's |
| Description: |
Assorted KCS units congregate outside the service building at Deramus Yard. On the first track are SW1500 4322, SD40 623 and SW1500 4356, while further back are GP7 4150 and MP15DC 4363. On the second track are SD40's 622, 625, 627, 626 and 624. The 622-627 had been built in June 1970 and their 15-year lease had just expired, so they were all parked here awaiting the return to their lessor. They became Soo Line 6400-6405 the following year. |
