KCS GP40 782
Title:  KCS GP40 782
Description:  Kansas City Southern GP40 782 was parked at WEST YARD, just outside of New Orleans. It had been built in February 1967 as Illinois Central 3046 (EMD 32866) and was acquired by the KCS in April 1982, after its initial 15-year lease expired. In July 1991 KCS sent the 782 to Morrison-Knudsen’s MOUNTAINTOP LOCOMOTIVE SHOP in Pennsylvania to have its prime mover swapped with the 765, which was then upgraded into GP40M-2 4784. The 782 remained at Mountaintop and was finally scrapped in March 1996.

KCS GP40 784
Title:  KCS GP40 784
Description:  Kansas City Southern GP40 784 was on train No. 53 as it was heading east across the New Orleans area over the Norfolk Southern, on its way from the KCS to the Seaboard System’s GENTILLY YARD. Notice the extra 800-gallon fuel tank which the KCS had added between the front truck and the original 2600-gallon tank. The 784 had been built in February 1967 as Illinois Central 3048 (EMD 32868) and was acquired by the KCS in April 1982, after its initial 15-year lease expired. In 1991 the KCS sent it to Morrison- Knudsen as partial payment for upgrading 16 GP40’s into GP40M-2’s 4780-4795. M-K sold it to Helm in March 1996 and it went AMF in Montreal, where it was remanufactured into GP38M-3 number 61 for the Roberval & Saguenay Railway in December 1996.
