| Description: |
MKT GP39-2 380. A former Kennecott Copper unit built with high cab, which was lowered to normal position prior to sale to the Katy; note the darker paint behind the cab where the original steps were. It's still in KCC yellow and wears a very small OKKT herald below the cab. |

Katy grain |
| Description: |
In the summer of 1988 business allowed me to make my third annual "last chance to shoot Katy" trip; this time I went to central Texas, where I found this train, pulling grain south at Elgin Tx, a point on the MKT main due east of Austin. The lead unit is one of the former Kennecott GP39-2s. It was about this time my companion told me I was standing on a fire ant mound- but that's another story. |

Annie Local at Whitney |
| Description: |
BN GP39-2 2704 runs long-hood forward as it brings the Anacortes Local through Whitney Wa early in 1974. In the '80s it was frequently a 1 or 2-unit train; since then several more industries have popped up on the line and it now typically uses 3 or 4 locomotives for its Monday through Saturday work. I've always liked this shot; with the low light and engineer in the cab window. |
