Western Railroad Discussion > KCS Power on NS 220

I went out briefly this morning and was able to photograph NS 220 while it was still on KCS rails near Vicksburg, Mississippi, about halfway to Atlanta from its origin in Dallas, Texas.

Great shots !  thanks for sharing     Chris

Wouldn't that be 220, not 219?

Yes. 220 is correct. KCS train numbers were opposite NS train numbers and I sometimes get them backwards. Thanks for the correction.

You're welcome. Send those further east, on 238 to SC!  Great shot at Vicksburg!

Thanks for the compliment.  Again, I appreciate you catching my error in the train number.  

With all the speculation about the sale of KCS, maybe I should shoot them more often.  They just don't run enoigh trains on the Shreveport to Meridian line to spend the time trackside.  I wish they would send them northeast out Atlanta more often.  They would offer some color in some gorgeous shooting locations.

The only time I see KCS now is when I get to Austell. Even then, I sometimes end up with NS power on 220...

(I26 this morning had the 4009, but trailing.)

Need a trip to Rich Mountain, but October is not possible with my work schedue.

I like Pic 2!!
