The Pittsburg Dodger, KCS Train R-PB102-04 rolls south through Neosho headed to Missouri Sugars LLC to pull and spot the industry. The usual geeps didn't make it back from KC in time to make the local today, so a pair of road units pinch hit on the short train.
Locomotive: KCS 4781

1998-07-10 0715 BNSF 4785 W Perrin, AZ
In the rush to get some of their newest locomotives earning revenue BNSF had them up and running as "naked ladies" before all the decals and lettering were applied. Now almost three years into the ATSF-BN merger the consists are starting to reflect the changes in the railroad.

Profile view of a locomotive, with a plaque on the wheel casing reading 'Neilson & Co. 4799 Glasgow 1895'.
East Indian Railway Locomotive no. 646.
This print was taken at the Jamalpur Railway Workshops in north-east India by an unknown photographer, c. 1897 from the Elgin Collection:
'Presented to His Excellency the Earl of Elgin & Kincardine...as a Memento of His Excellency's Visit to the East Indian Railway Workshops at Jamalpur November 30th 1897'. Early locomotives (late 19th century) in India were almost all imported, mainly from the UK.
The first steam locomotive to be built in India was in 1895 at workshops at Ajmer.
The first locomotive to be produced at Jamalpur was the ‘Lady Curzon’ in 1899.
In 1854 the first commercial railway line run by the East India Railway Company ran from Howrah to Hooghly, a distance of 24 miles.
