    Hello Everyone:

    I headed down to my normal spot yesterday to catch a few trains around the downtown Gulfport area and here is what I got. Enjoy

    Aaron, thank you for some great photos, and especially the video. I'm amazed at the number of cars being hauled upgrade from the West Pier, and by just one SD40 and one SD38. More than half those cars were loaded, including all the heavily loaded Ilmenite ore (Titanium) hoppers at the end. Seeing those trains is one of the things I miss by moving north after Hurricane Katrina, that and the convenience of shopping without driving 25 miles one-way.

    Seeing the KCS Belle and Gray side by side, always seems to me a bit of a clash. So different, it is hard to believe this is the same company.
