Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All
Yes, it sometimes snows in Dallas, Texas. On the morning of February 14, 2004, we woke up to this nice surprise! Kansas City Southern's I-DAMT train is enroute to Metro Junction to pass the Chicago bound UPS trailers off the the BNSF for the rest of the journey. Running long hood first, KSC 4783 leads sister GP-40 Dash 3 number 4803. They will return later in the day with the I-MTDA to the Dallas Yard.
