KCS 73B

Earl Hampton	General	Micky, what was this one's previous number and is it part of a mother-slug set? I can see unit on left was just a plainjane GP40 77something. I don't remember seeing the 73B on KCS #53 going to L&N.	6/30/2010 11:45:46 AM

Michael Palmieri	General	This unit was always the 73B, and when I shot it, it was still a genuine, powered F7B. It was the last powered B-unit on the KCS; and unlike B-unit slugs 4075-4077, its wasn't very common in New Orleans. I never saw it on Nos. 53, 54, 55 or 56.	6/30/2010 1:33:27 PM

KCS 73B
Kansas CIty Southern F7B 73B was the last powered B-unit on the railroad. It was photographed at West Yard, in the New Orleans area, but it was not very common on this end of the railroad.
