Nary a leaf is astir in the oppressive August heat as Kansas City Southern GP40 761 heads up this inbound freight at Dallas. KCS is a road of many colors and the situation in 1987 is in flux with white making way for the new drab gray scheme, both lettered in red. Over the years the road’s diesels have also worn black with white lettering, red with yellow lettering, and two passenger and freight versions of the original Southern Belle scheme of dark Brunswick green, yellow and red.
