MKT 330, Council Bluffs, IA - a photo on Flickriver

Katy grain train power lays over at Union Pacific's Council Bluffs service track. When the MKT picked up Rock Island's OKT trackage they went on a used locomotive buying spree which included GP's from ICG, CR, and KCC. MKT330, a GP38AC, and the ex Kennecott Copper GP39-2 (one of 8) were part of that acquisition.

The MKT trackage rights to Council Bluffs were concessions granted to the Katy as part of the UP/MP/WP 1982 merger. With the purchase of the MKT by UP, the Council Bluffs-KC trackage rights were granted to the KCS, who operates over a circuitous BNSF route instead of the UP to reach Council Bluffs. Those rights now have rolled over to CP Rail.

Here is one of the haulage trains in my KCS folder: flic.kr/p/2jRhcuT
