S-2 296
S-2 296 at Springfield, Missouri (date unknown) (David Cash).
This photograph was taken at the Springfield West or Kansas Avenue Yard. The locomotives are east of the Springfield Diesel Shop on the diesel pocket track. This track is east of Kansas Avenue, northeast of the service tracks area.
In the distance on the raised shelf between the noses of FP7 48 and S-2 296 is a tree trunk pile at Ozark Hardwood Company. Between the noses of S-2 296 and VO-1000 228 is the silver building of Springfield Plywoods, Inc. These business are located on North Nettleton Avenue and North Newton Avenue respectively. A stub end spur from the east served these north side businesses.
It came off the North Main Track just west of the grade crossing at North Broadway Avenue.
The view is looking north northeast.
Special thanks to Mark Davidson.

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.

The location is the diesel pocket track east of the Springfield Diesel Shop. This is near the bulk sand storage tank and unloading shed. The track to the north, behind the engines, is the High Line. Today, the “new” turntable sits further to the northeast.
Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
