White Rocket

14 years after KCS changed from white to gray paint, a couple of railfans were lucky enough to catch a pair of white SD40-2 leading "rocket train" south through DeQueen, Ark. The two yellow cars are carring parts of NASA's solid fuel boosters...thus th placement of "Warrior River" (ex-Southern) with the escorts/guards/techs onboard. The white post on the bottom right is the number of miles from Kansas City.
I assume the passenger car is to be on guard if anything falls or flies out of the two rocket cars?
