Electrifying
Title:  Electrifying
Description:  MJRX SD40-2 2018, built as UP SD40-2 8012 in June 1974, sits outside of Railway Service Contractors in the Fairfax District on a stormy March afternoon. MJRX 2018 was painted for the Fort Worth and Western in late 2010 after being bought from National Rail Equipment, and operated as the only "Snoot Nose" locomotive on FWWR until recently when it was aquired by Rail Service Contractors and received black patches and new MJRX reporting marks. Being from Texas, this locomotive is definitely out of place here in Kansas, but the livery was coincidentally based on both railroads that have operated the Falls City Subdivision and switching operations in and around Fairfax; Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific.
