Western Railroad Discussion > KCS 1 northboundDate: 05/07/21 03:32 KCS 1 northbound Author: KB5WK I took a day of vacation to catch the KCS business train on Wednesday 05/05/2021 on Cinco De Mayo day. It was a long day and a lot of driving but worth it. I shot the biz train many times before but never caught it on what I consider the most scenic route "Rich Mountain" Shreveport sub. The weather was absolutely perfect the entire day. Here are my SLR photos with my Canon 5DM3. Symbol: BLRKC03

The most beautiful Business Train out there. It'll be a great shame to lose this one ! Looks like you could eat off the roof of those Fs.

Andy Date: 05/07/21 06:21 Re: KCS 1 northbound Author: switchlock VERY nice!

JB Date: 05/07/21 07:00 Re: KCS 1 northbound Author: UP951West Thank you for posting this absolutely FOUR STAR presentation of KCS 1 !
I think it was worth your long drive up here to OK. Unaware it was running, I went to the BNSF Transcon to shoot images. --Kelly Date: 05/07/21 08:10 Re: KCS 1 northbound Author: Spoony81 perklocal Wrote:

SantaFeRuss Date: 05/07/21 08:59 Re: KCS 1 northbound Author: King_Coal Very nice photos of a great looking train.

Reduce the potential foamer count by 2. :-) FYI, that's me in the black and white plaid shirt on the sidewalk standing in front of Ken F. There were a half dozen other Tulsans present.

Thanks for showing these. The group photo was a good idea---oklachaser is the lady second closest to the tracks in pink shirt and I'm the white-haired guy next to her.
