But this is the F unit that became 4058. The rear says KCS 71C. In a KCS book I was using for info, the 4058 was listed as originally 71C(88). Strange.

Thanks for your interesting photo post of these wonderful machines on the KCS. ALLEN Date: 09/27/20 18:24 Re: KCS F7A 4058 and a bit earlier as 88 Author: EL833 Nice series and info Gary. I'm generally partial to the white scheme with the big "K C S" if it was clean.
