The major US railroads are going through a renaissance of sorts by proudly dispaying their heritages. Kansas City Southern RR & Norfolk Southern RR displayed the locomotives of their business trains at the railroad festival at Meridian, MS in November 2007. Both Locomotive sets originate from the 1950s, and are painted in schemes used during that time period. This photo was published in the February 2008 issue of "Trains" magazine. The shot was taken during the night photo shoot.
