In this video, C. Vision Productions explores the Kansas City Southern in the colorful 1990s, with footage provided by videographer Dan Hadley. We'll follow the railroad's mainline from Kansas City, Missouri to the Gulf of Mexico, with additional coverage of the Meridian Speedway and Texas Subdivision also included. KCS EMDs wearing their white “ghost” paint scheme, as well as the newer gray paint scheme with yellow safety stripes, are seen operating on a variety of trains throughout the video. In addition to KCS, you’ll see locomotives from Burlington Northern, Norfolk Southern, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Illinois Central, TFM, Texas Mexican, MidSouth, Gateway Western, TO&E, and Kiamichi. Locomotive models seen include SD40, SD40A, SD40X, SD402, SD40M2, SD45T3, SD50, SD60, GP7, GP9, GP10, GP30, GP35, GP38, GP38AC, GP382, GP40, GP402, GP402L, GP49, GP60, B237, C307, C398, C409, C409W, FP9A, F9B, SW14, SW1500, and NW2. This was a period of significant growth for the KCS, as the company swiftly transformed into a wellconnected class one powerhouse shortly before the turn of the century. This footage was edited at the studios of C. Vision Productions in September of 2023, and is used with permission from Dan Hadley. If you are interested in purchasing full programs that include many of these scenes, they are available in DVD format from Pentrex.

We hope that you enjoy this retro look at the Kansas City Southern. If you like what you see, more C. Vision content awaits you in the links below…
