A Southeast Kansas Railroad (SEK) train is making the daily interchange to the KCS at Pittsburg, KS. In the consist is a nice representation of Watco power: SKOL2211 (ex PRR/CR GP30), SEK117 (ex MKT? GP7) and EIRR 2178 (ex ATSF GP7u). In the hole is KCS 681 which ended up on the MEC and is now PAR 606.
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
