    It finally looks like that Kansas City Southern is Doing is what the Santa Fe did before the Merger. They're going for the Old "southern Belle" paint scheme that was used from 1937-1971. The Southern Belle Replaced the Flying Crow in Passenger Service. In the 21st Century KCS survived mergers has grown up. They're reliving the glory days in their freight diesels

    Not to nitpick, but IIRC they're ES44ACs. Still they do look nice in the "RetroBelle" livery, and a far cry from either white or gray colors.

    Thanks for sharing the links to the pics:thumbs_up:
