Pushing on the rear of KCMC is EMD SD70Ae #GM72 & #GM73. GM72 has a crew onboard (most coal trains in this area have DPU) along with at least one EMD Tech Rep.
Starting in April of 2004 KCS hosted Prototype SD70ACe #GM72 & #GM73 for 60 days so that EMD/GMLG could put the two through their paces on the ruling grade of 1.5%. Leading the first train up the mountain is BNSF SD70MAC #8982 & #8822 with KCS AC4400CW #2006 at Stapp Oklahoma
