Goodbye, KCS. |
| Description: |
9:29 AM. This was the final photo I took of an on-line KCS train, and it happens to be the Watts Dodger. The last train before the merger at 10:00 AM CST was a run-through coal drag. And with that, the era of KCS was no more. Now, its onto CPKC and whatever the future may bring... |

The final [KCS] Dodger |
| Description: |
April 14, 2023. 9:24 AM. The Dodger waits in the hole for the all-clear after the grain passes. The Dodger is so named for this exact scenario - dodging the mainline trains and weaving its way into the sidings to bypass. In a little over 35 minutes, Kansas City Southern will be no more. |

CP Heritage Units in Oklahoma |
| Description: |
After heading back home from Heavaner to go to work, I stopped to try and catch one final train. I did - and these were on the rear. I never would have expected, but with the CPKC merger now in full swing, I should prolly expect it a little bit more. |

After connecting the locomotives on each end (push-pull), the engineer disembarks as we still have a few hours to set up all the decorations and prep the train before we begin. |

Peering at the locomotive in 3rd, its C420 54, my favorite locomotive here. Not only is it ex-CR/LHR, but it also pulled my first train ride I ever took. |
