VO-1000 217
VO-1000 217 at Kansas City, Missouri in May 1969.
The locomotives are at the Mechanical Departments service tracks area at 19th Street Yard. Visible behind and above the locomotives is the single track diesel shop. The unidentified number SD-45 and F unit are on service track 1. The three VO-1000 switch engines are on service track 2.
The middle VO-1000 is SLSF 211. The far VO-1000 locomotive is four exhaust stack variant believed to be SLSF 234. Interesting are the different striping arrangement patterns on each of the three switch engines. Note the non-standard forward slant of the stripes on SLSF 217.
The view is looking south.
Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
F7A 32, SD45 911 and VO-1000 217
F7A 32, SD45 911 and VO-1000 217 at the east end of Springfield West yard (date unknown) (R. Wallin).
This is at Springfield. The structure behind the F units is the engine service shed at the west yard. Beyond that, running across the whole image, is the Kansas Expressway viaduct. Further in the distance, above the locomotives that includes the F units, is the water tower at the shops.
Special thanks to Paul Bender.
