While I can't be sure (as it's not my photo), since they just came out of the shop a couple of days ago, it's a good bet this one was photo'd at or near the shops. But coming to a grain elevator near you soon, I hope. Ed
Ed, That really is a great new paint scheme the KCS has unveiled! Looks like they waxed that loco up for the publicity shot too!

Will be until the (long string of expletives decrying ancestry, intelligence and sexual proclivities of the morons mentioned) taggers see 'em...........:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
The paint job looks a lot like CB&Q's 1950s "Blackbird" paint scheme that road applied to their diesel engines until around 1960 when chinese red replaced it. Too bad BNSF didn't think of this first. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=129125
Probably a good rule to live by in general! I saw that and laughed too. I guess there must have been some hammering issues in the past!
