Western Railroad Discussion > KCS old school freight train

KCS 2812 - 2810 ... I was on the way to work and heard the KCS eastbound LWY101 get permission to enter the Form B at Plano Parkway in Plano TX. So I got in position with the drone and my iPhone 8 plus and caught this eastbound heading to Wylie yard on Thursday June 14, on the KCS Alliance sub, former Cotton Belt line.

This area is under construction to widen the lanes to make it easier to get on to the George Bush tollway. Its been gridlock city since the explosion of growth with the DFW area growing leaps and bounds. Thanks to the constructions. All KCS trains have to get permission to enter this area so they can get men and equipment in the clear.

Top two photos show the area where KCS had an owie with the M-O-W boys the other day
that looks like they got cleaned up.

I wonder if the leader used to be white - painted unit ?

Wow, old stopming grounds for me (Lived in Plano 1985-86, worked in a lab on Plano Parkway). I can hardly recognize the place!

Great use of the drone as a "portable overpass."

Enjoyed your drome shots. Thanks for posting Texas subjects.
