GP40-2 756 at Kansas city, Missouri on August 30, 1980 (R. Bee).

The locomotives are in the Frisco’s 19th Street Yard. This is in the West Bottoms area near the confluence of the Kansas River as it flows into the Missouri River. In the distance above the nose of SLSF 756 is the distinctive roof support system of Kemper Arena.

Included in this view the rear of Frisco U30B 852. The locomotives are sitting on the locomotive ready tracks southwest of and adjacent to the locomotive service tracks and diesel shop. The view is looking Southwest.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.

GP35 715 at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (date unknown).

This photograph was taken just prior to the train crossing South Santa Fe Street. It has just departed the Frisco’s Oklahoma City Yard and crossed the North Canadian River. The photo was taken looking northeast from the Santa Fe Railroad overpass.

After crossing under the Santa Fe, just to the west, the train will run south of the Oklahoma City Union Station. This depot was a joint operation between the Rock Island and Frisco.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
