Oh man, me too. I gather the NS units are the same FP-7's they used to run in excursion service. I rode behind them several times and I'm glad to see they're still in service, at least some of them - I think I remember seeing one in the Altoona yard at Railfest 2007 and I couldn't tell whether it was operable. I never saw the KCS freight paint scheme before. It's a beauty.

Railfest 2007 in Meridian, Mississippi will have the newly repainted F units of the KCS & NS on display in November.
