KCS 2857
Title:  KCS 2857
Description:  From what I can tell, the large KCS on the hood was lost sometime in 2006 and never replaced. It just doesn't look right. The nose is quite shiny and clean, possibly from some recent repairs.

Lucky grab
Title:  Lucky grab
Description:  I was coming back from running some errands, picking my way through town, about to cross the KCS at Kenwood St, when to my delight the gates started down. The day was gloomy-its been raining here for the last three days, and I didnt expect to shoot any train photos, but when presented with the chance, out comes the camera from under the seat. This is unusual for two reasons: first, the dodger typically runs with three units, occasionally, but not often, two. And its long hood forward, which you never see here. Anyway, a LHF GP 40 with six cars heads to Watts in the rain. Last time I saw this unit, in Gentry on the dodger, it was gray.

The dodger is back
Title:  The dodger is back
Description:  After chasing the 262 down to Westville, I headed back to Watts, thinking Id find the 261 still working there. As I approached the south end of the yard, I saw a headlight in the distance. As I got up to the yard office, it turned out to the the dodger returning to the yard from its days work. The 261 had a pick up and set out, but must have worked quickly, leaving not long after I started following the 262, since hed have to have met the dodger at Siloam. The dodger was a good looking train, three baby Belles and 42 cars. I had hoped to chase the 261 north, but the Strathcona unit was not leading, and I had gotten some good shots of the engine and the coat of arms, so not a total loss. I got four trains for the afternoon, so a good day.
