| Description: |
A trio of BNSF C44-9Ws wearing the iconic Heritage 2 livery charges through Morris on the point of westbound BNSF intermodal train Q-CHISBD basking in the final bits of light on a cold February afternoon.

EMD Variety Pack at BNSF Murray Yard |
| Description: |
A good variety of power idling at BNSF Murray Yard on the morning of February 23th, featuring KCS SD70ACe 4009 dazzled in a special livery to thank the military veterans working on the KCS system in both the United States and Mexico. After hearing that KCS SD70ACe 4009 along with KCS SD70ACe 4176 had terminated at Murray Yard, we decided to catch them under the lights near the yard office after work a little after midnight. There also happened to be a nice set of classic BNSF EMD locomotives parked nearby with BNSF SD60M 1427 (built as BN SD60M 9250), BNSF SD60M 1426 (built as BN SD60M 9246), BNSF GP39-3 2597 (built as SLSF GP38AC 636) and BNSF GP39-3 2550 (built as ATSF GP30 1205). |

Classy Trio at BNSF Murray Yard |
| Description: |
In the morning after the sun came up, we happened to be in the area and decided to pay KCS 4009 another visit. This time, an southbound BNSF freight train was idling nearby with BNSF C44-9W 723 second-out sporting the Santa Fe inspired Warbonnet livery. A nice black fourth gen Honda Accord also happened to be parked nearby in a perfect spot to pose with the two special locomotives. |

Westbound BNSF E-SKSBTM Near Farley |

Do You Believe In Ghosts? |
| Description: |
KCSM AC4400CW 4552, built as TFM AC4400CW 2652 in August 2000, leads eastbound BNSF coal train C-EBMMLM with BNSF SD70ACe-P4 8504 trailing second-out down the BNSF Saint Joseph Subdivision on a surprisingly-warm February afternoon. After catching it passing over the 1920-built Platte River Bridge from the CB&Q days near Farley, we decided to beat it to the trackside lake located at Horizons Industrial Park in Riverside. As a true testimate of time, KCSM 4552 still retains its original Transportación Ferroviaria Mexicana Battleship Grey paint from before the company was rebranded to Kansas City Southern de México in 2005. After Kansas City Southerns full takeover of the TFM, the equipment on TFMs roster was promptly rebranded to the new KCSM look, either receiving patches in their current "Grey Ghost" look or eventually given new Southern Belle paint. As of early 2025, KCSM 4552 remains as 1 of only 32 AC4400CWs still wearing their original TFM paint on the now CPKC roster. BNSF 8504 is also only 1 of 20 SD70ACe-P4s built for BNSF in 2014. |
