Oil at Wylie World
Author: KB5WK

I dont normally see oil trains on the KCS in Wylie Texas. This must of been a detour. I was shooting a frack sand train in the siding at Plano TX on my way home from work, when I heard the oil train arriving Wylie yard. So I headed to Wylie to see what the frack was going on. Lucky they stopped for an oil change... I mean crew change.  

KCS 4032, NS 9820, KCS 4040 on the head end, and 3 NS horses on the rear.  Backlit shot at Lake Lavon dam on the head end.  Taken on 10/10/2018.

The gondola buffers are a nice change from the usual hopper. They're all good but #3 sings.

Great photos!

Are the people on the far left (on the concrete) in #3 fishing?

Where is Witco Texas? Does this oil train run the Dublin sub. on FWWR or just parts of it?

Slightly off topic, it looks like KCS intermodal facility there is bustling with business, that's sure good to see.

Since it came to KCS it did have to run on the Dublin sub.
