Recently Spotted - Kansas Central?
Posted by techguy57 on Monday, June 28, 2004 3:32 PM
I saw an engine marked as Kansas Central yesterday in the intermodal facility outside of US Cellular (Comiskey) Field in Chicago yesterday. It was predominately blue and white, lookd to be a SD40, but I didn't get as good a look as I would've liked. I can't find anything recent on Kansas Central, the nearest thing I can find is on Kansas Eastern, and wondered if anyone could give me any info.
Just for the record, I have to say it was a strange sight to see on the near south side of Chicago. If my girlfriend hadn't seen it as well I'd thought maybe it was a hallucination based on the fact I was distraught that the White Sox had just beaten the Cubs. And wouldn't you know it, it was one of the few times I didn't have a camera with me.
Thanks,
Mike
