| Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad (reporting mark MKT) GP38AC 327 at Cotter, Arkansas on October 25, 1990, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is MKT's minimalist paint scheme as applied to former ICG 9502, built in February 1970 (c/n 35667). The purple paint is remeniscent of the first Auto-Train. The IC/ICG leased 20 GP38AC's (#'s 9500-9519) under the usual 15 year arrangement. When the lease expired in 1985, most were picked up by the MKT. This particular unit went on to become UP 1984/1785, then AERC 2001. |
