Hammering out of town at South Blue Valley, KCS Train B-KCSH-17 has the F-Units on the head end, wearing a new coat of paint applied earlier this year, now featuring yellow lettering and trim in the KCS Octagon Logos. The bridge in the distance is the dormant Rock Island line into Leeds Jct., mothballed since 1980. The GM Leeds Assembly Plant is on the left, which was closed as a plant when the auto maker left in 1988.
Bound for Heavener, OK for the night, the trip is inspecting MOW work done during recent all day curfews on this corridor to Sheveport, LA.
