As yet another intermodal train passes through Hillsdale, the head end contains yet another surprise- a trio of engines from the Kansas City Southern!
A family stops to watch as the train passes by. Kids seem to love trains! Of course, with the colorful engines painted up in the KCS's "Retro Belle" scheme instead of the AP&W's usual 'earth tones', who wouldn't take notice!
The first of the locomotives is KCSM (Kansas City Southern de Mexico, KCS's Mexican subsidiary) 4663, a GE ES44AC.
The second unit is also a GE ES44AC, KCSM 4668.
The last engine is KCS 4046, an EMD SD70ACe. All three represent almost new motive power, as the KCS has been busy upgrading its fleet for the 21st century.
