Western Railroad Discussion > KCS Freight in Missouri and IllinoisDate: 05/09/22 14:12 KCS Freight in Missouri and Illinois Author: RJM29 Several shots of KCS freight in Missouri over the last few years.
The road typically runs a manifest each way about five times a week from KC to East St Louis and return as M-KCVN and M-VNKC. 1. The Veterans' unit leads a westbound at Nebo, Illinois on 20 Nov 2019. It crossed the Illinois River at Pearl about 20 minutes earlier; the Mississippi River crossing is about 30 minutes ahead, at Louisiana. 2. Westbound behind two units pass the former GM&O depot at Louisiana, MO on 15 April 2020. The rear end of the train is still on the Mississippi River Bridge. 3. An eastbound mid-state at Clark, MO, where the KCS crosses the Norfolk Southern. GE 4812 leads a lease EMDX unit and three KCS SD70ACes. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/09/22 14:13 by RJM29.

4. Eastbound at White Hall, Illinois on 11 July 2020 and on the final lap to East St Louis, behind a pair of EMDX Tier 4s.It's mid-day in the summer, so I'm trying to do what I can with a high summer sun and the resulting shadows. 5. Eastbound coming off the Missouri River Bridge at Glasgow, MO on 20 April 2020. Two units are normal for this train although I've seen it swell up to 14 when they're transferring power. 6. Westbound cresting Bowlling Green Hill, the ruling grade for the Roodhouse-KC line as the tracks climb 400 feet from the Mississippi River to Bowling Green. 23 Aug 2014. Rick Morgan Edited 1 time(s).

Larry Date: 05/09/22 16:40 Re: KCS Freight in Missouri and Illinois Author: map I really like the angle of your shot at Glasgow. If I try that with my luck, you can bet a slow moving semi would be drifting by on the highway.
