Give our Facebook page a look! Have a good week everyone!
Very cool. Thanks for chasing it for us.
Great video and catches of the KCS OCS train my friend 😊👌
I got CPKC I167 Matt.
@@trainanswererguy8758 Interesting...
Awesome video Bishop, pal!
Awesome share fantastic catches all around enjoyed the video thanks for sharing
Really wished I could’ve went out there to catch the Business Train myself but at least I know there’s always next time to get it. Great job on the video as always Bishop! You honestly never fail to impress anytime you make these man!
Same, I didn't even know about the KCS OCS was even running through De Quincy that day😮....
Awesome! I really enjoyed the chase. I didn't know the Mexican component had a maroon scheme. They will blend in well when 2816 goes south. Too bad I won't see it in Eastern Canada. Well done!
Louisiana be having the best trains 🚂🚃
Great catch, thanx for the video.
Nice video, thank you
Great video, as usual! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent shots, you did good.
KCS's "Arthur E. Stillwell" is the former (and only) Midsouth Rail Corp.'s business car "The Prospector." The KCS converted its original open rear platform to the current theater glass rear end.
Actually that’s incorrect. The Midsouth Business Car Prospector was sold to the IAIS. The current Arthur E.Stillwell was rebuilt in 2006 from an ex NYC.
@@damianbradley Seriously? That is news to me that I had not heard before now.
Hmmmmm...........Thank you. Now I must do some investigating 🔎.
@@killersopinion1829 Yes it was repainted to Belle and ran on the train as Laredo , before being sold to IAIS, which it’s still in the Belle scheme
@@damianbradley I found pictures of it on RRPicturesArchives yesterday. I was happy to see that the rear platform was not altered like I originally thought. Thank you for this information. Been trying to keep up with the history of all of Midsouth's equipment and where it went. I went inside the Prospector in the early 90s right before KCS took over. It was absolutely gorgeous with mahogany wood all in it.
Been trying to catch the train for a while but it sometimes passes in my area and I always miss it since my area is mostly BNSF and UP. It has been down here passing through UP Englewood Yard in Houston or it passes right through tower 26 as well. But I never could get it. I do have the limited edition book on the KCS. It sad that I use to live 14 years in Baton Rouge and it never crossed my mind on spotting this train. I guess I was mostly focus on life and also on SP 745. My family member who works for CPKC has been a conductor on this train for two routes last year. And one of my friends who works for CPKC also was the engineer for the Christmas event with the train. Hopefully one day I will get that chance to spot this train. Hopefully I am not busy with my conductor life working for BNSF.
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing it with those of us who would have liked to experience it, but could not. Keep up the good work.
Ayyyyy we finally got some action in my girlfriend’s town aka DeRidder! She just told me the train horns don’t bother the locals they always hear them all day and night!
Looks like fun.
Just another typical OUTSTANDING "LRP" railfan production!!!!
I hope that CPKC keeps the F Units painted as is. Better yet, just paint everything in the southern belle paint scheme and use the name Canada Southern, with reporting marks CASO. The original Canada Southern was located in southern Ontario and had these reporting marks.
Like 53 🇲🇽👋🏼
Don’t they have fp5 in the passenger car scheme
From what I know these engines are in great condition and unlikely to be retired, but I sure do hope cp doesn’t repaint em.
Looks like it says KCS to me.
Hopefully they don’t do what other roads have done and get rid of the F units all together. The last time I caught that train was in March 2010 in Ruston. Tried to get it again a year later but it was dark by the time it showed up which killed the photo op.
Most roads only ditched them because the engines reached the end of their lives. NS did so because their frames were 100k miles away from breaking. These units are in great shape all around unlike the NS ones which were rotting frames dressed up to look pretty. In way better shape than CP’s F units. The biggest risk appears to be CP turning them into their own F units.
@@30dollarnightvision14 I heard Norfolk Solon got rid of them because of admissions.
WHAT THE HECK BUSINESS DO THEY DO IN SHREVEPORT OR WHAT THE HECK DO THE BUSINESS DO THEY NEED TO DO ON THE MEXICAN BORDER CUZ I PICK UP AND TRANSPORT DRUGS
