Western Railroad Discussion > Frozen KCS SHDA

What a wild week its been in North Texas. We lost power at 9:45 am on Monday and our power was restored Tuesday morning at 7:10 am.  We went to bed that night at 53 deg F. room temp and woke up to 45 deg Tuesday morning. It was Zero Degrees outside on Tuesday. We never slept so cold in our life. My wife and our 2 dogs in bed with many layers. We were very blessed. The power stayed on after that. We did not have any rolling black outs.  But many of my friends were having rolling black outs every other hour that lasted till Wednesday. Crazy.  But I did make it out to catch a train on Thursday at Wylie TX. 

Caught the M-SHDA with 7 engines at Copeville TX on 02/18/2021 around 3 pm.  KCS 4836 west

1. Copeville TX siding
2. SHDA at Wylie yard heading to the yard office 
3. Yard job working the west end of the yard with the SD22ECO units.

Wow.  Hope you and your family stay safe and well down there in the great state of Texas.
Given the amount of snow across the midwest, are the forecasters anticipating there will be a lot of flooding when that melts?
Thansk for sharing the pics!
 

Glad you are OK. Love the last shot with the classic old SDP carbody units paired together.

Very nice, glad things got better.

Very NICE!! Glad you have your power back in the Texas crisis.

Great shots! 
those KCS units are sure pretty against the snow. 
Stay warm. 
I reckon generator sales will be off the charts for months. 

Nice pics!!
