A couple KCS units in Southern Belle livery on an empty sand train.

Taken with cell phone camera, so sorry the quality isn't that good.
 
Nice photos cell phone or not. Those mega sand trains are something, i think they run nearly 175 cars and weigh almost 30,000 tons

I hope someone can get a shot of an entire or nearly an entire one of these trains. It would have to be a creative shot taken from a distance, like maybe from the top of a hill, overpass, or bridge.
