KCS-CP-and UP 9910
Author: DRGW

Today was a very interesting day to be trackside around Southern California as several trains had interesting power. First up was BNSF's first Oil train running to the new facility at Levee just west of Bakersfield that had KCS power in the lead.

1. KCS 4780 leads the train under the signal bridge at Daggett on the BNSF Needles Sub.

2. The trains DPU's

3. Pulling ahead adding the mid train DPU's at Barstow.

8. Hodge

Great series of shots, Matt, and a nice variety of power. Good seeing you and FCP901 this afternoon along with RSD5.
