KCS Kansas City to Sulphur Springs (March 1996)

[@marslightmodeling1753]

KCS was one of the coolest yet underrated railroads of this era. Such a variety of power, no wide cabs, great horns, and gyralights. What’s not to love?

[@beeble2003]

"great horns" -- unlike the Gateway Western, whose horns sound like they just gave kazoos to the engineer and conductor. 4:50.

I just moved to KC, so this was a terrific intro to KCS trains! Thanks for sharing!

[@1990sRailfan]

Ah, I was conductor out of Pittsburg, KS., when this was shot, will definitely give this a view.

8:45 Weird to see a BN with flashing ditch lights
9:54 Amazing RS5T sound
17:41 WRRS mechanical bell. (Wishbone gate too!) One thing I love about most footage pre-2000 is the number of mechanical bells still in use
Great stuff from about 33:57 to the end

I remember hanging out around neosho taking pictures almost a year and a half later. Fortunately I was there when they ran the last of the manned Helpers at Neosho.

41:26 Spooky horn

[@sernajrlouis]

Awesome video

[@wolfen216]

alot of these places dont look like this anymore, and most of the power you see on trains is retired or scrapped.
What a load of change.

From what I seen here, It appears you KCS VOL 1 video was taped over two year period between 1995-1996.

[@guyhartsel8797]

Great video of the KCS. A railroad I'm not familiar with
Live in nw ohio

And now a lot of years later, it was renamed as CPKC

[@RaulSavala-em1vb]

This video was kind of good, unfortunately why do you mainly JUS FOCUS on the locos , IT BECOMES BORING AFTER A PERIOD TIME, GOOD GRIEF, 😱🙄🤔

[@Tom-xe9iq]
