Nostalgia & History > KCS F units - working up the hill in Texas -- Nov 81Date: 02/24/17 05:00 KCS F units - working up the hill in Texas -- Nov 81 Author: gcm 6 KCS F units (with a couple slugs) roll west between Pittsburg and Sulphur Springs in NE Texas
Bringing empty coal cars from the interchange with the electrified power plant line just west of Pittsburg - headed to the coal mine near Sulphur Springs. The units will tie up at the station in Sulphur Springs. This is a rescan. Gary Date: 02/24/17 05:04 Re: KCS F units - working up the hill in Texas -- Nov 81 Author: CNW8531 I like it! Good shot!!
