After a mostly cloudy day a small group of us gathered at the western end of the Kansas City Southern's Bonnet Carre Spillway bridge to shoot the outbound business train as they began their deadhead run back north to Shreveport. As the train entered the 1.8 mile long, 10mph, bridge we were in clouds. As the train crept closer the sun found a magical gap in the clouds, and stayed that way just long enough to get the train off of the bridge. The KCS FP9 passenger motors, and corresponding business train are the best looking train around. KCS 1 was originally built for the Canadian National all the way back in 1955, and is still going strong on the head end of the KCS business train today.
Thanks for looking and enjoy!
