Dressed in the road’s dazzling all-white scheme, Kansas City Southern GP38-2 4005 leads two GP30s and another GP38-2, Shreveport-bound near Lake Lavon, northeast of Dallas on a September morning, 1978. The original right-of-way here is under water, and this track, technically owned by KCS subsidiary Louisiana & Arkansas, was relocated in 1953 when the lake was completed as part of the Dallas water system.
While Kansas City Southern's modern 'Southern Belle' scheme might be the most striking modern Class I scheme, the grey, white, and even Deramus red paint of KCS in the 1970s-1990s has an allure of its own. This album showcases vintage KCS from the GP30/SD
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
