RS-2m 551 at Springfield, Missouri (date unknown) (David Cash).

The locomotives are at the Kansas Avenue Diesel Shop, sitting on the east end of the pocket track. The track in the foreground leads to the east end of the service tracks area. The track behind the locomotives is the north lead to the West Shops area and Clinton Subdivision (High Line).

Based on other photographs in the Frisco Archive of the 551 and 42, the approximate date is March 1972.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.

RS2m 553 at Springfield, Missouri (date unknown).

This was shot at the West or Kansas Avenue Yard. The locomotives are sitting on the diesel pocket track east of the Springfield Diesel Shop. The pocket was used for longer term storage of locomotives to be repaired in the shop.

Behind the locomotives is the lead to the West Shops area/Clinton Subdivision (known as the High Line). The track in the foreground is the lead to the service tracks area and further west the diesel shop.

Sitting to the west of the subject locomotive is GP7L 527. It still retains its fully striped paint. To the east of the subject locomotive is Frisco (sub-lettered AT&N) RS1 109.

The view is looking north.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
