KCS 4006 Leads 249!

KCS 4006, CSX 5452, and BNSF 8425 lead CPKC 249 west, through Brookfield, WI. This was filmed on Brookfield Road, on the CPKC Watertown Sub. While you barely get a look at it, UP 6413 and UP 8053 lead a tanker train, on the other track. Both trains hit the pavement at the same time, but I didn't catch that. The UP duo was nice, but my main focus here was KCS 4006! Despite what many will say, 4006 is probably the best looking Veterans unit on any Class 1! I have never caught, and when I got word it was coming, I rushed out the door. No shocker to me, but it got held up somewhere, and waited till dusk to start rolling again... That's the railfan luck. It was getting dark, but I still got a decent video of it! Since there was another train literally right behind me, I got some K3LA horn action, and 4006's stupidly loud K5LA! I've heard many loud horns, but 4006 is by far the loudest I've ever heard! Was the video the greatest, no, but it was certainly one of my better catches this year!

Nice catch of this meet! Had no idea KCS had a unit that honors veterans! Lol. First time you were at Brookfield road in a while too. I managed to barely catch a meet on this line back in September of last year. It was on the Calhoun road crossings. Next crossings east of this one. Not gonna lie, they are a nice spot to catch a meet since they are separate crossings, you get more signals flashing which is a bit more interesting IMO.
