Dear DT1967, For a non-railfan you sure know a lot about railroads [:)][:D]! But to answer your questions: 1.) Kansas City has become second only to Chicago as the major railroad hub of North America, where all the lines connect. Additionally, it seems to be on the way from Great Plains coal mines to Kansas City. Many companies learned long ago that it was cheaper to store products in the cars they were being shipped in than to construct storage facilities. Or there might just have been a mechanical failure of some sort. 2.) These locomotives might have been stored there temporarily for some special serivice, or were on the way to shops for major repairs. Other than that, there's not much else I can tell you. I hope I have helped, Daniel
