KCS 4076         
An uncommon view of a KCS F7B slug at West Yard, just outside of New Orleans, with nothing coupled to one end. The railroad had three B-unit slugs, and during this time they almost always showed up in New Orleans between a pair of geeps. The 4076 was coupled to GP40-2 797.

Jim Vivian General Was this a 'regular' to Gentilly Yard in the mid-late 80's? Nice catch BTW! 2/10/2015 3:47:08 PM
Michael Palmieri General Yes, during that time these slugs were very common on all of the road trains into New Orleans, showing up regularly on the run-through trains to the L&N/SBD/CSX and to the SOU/NS. 2/10/2015 3:56:34 PM
