Re: (Re: PC: xPC engine)C&IM Ownership

The first operator went broke in a hurry, but they were able to paint 2 or
3 engines in a maroon paint scheme with a narrow orange band.    When this
road went broke Southern Pacific purchased the St Louis - Chicago line
under it's Cotton Belt subsidary; the other route I believe is St Louis-
Kansas City and a new operator runs this, Gateway Western, which I believe
has become an affiliate of KCS.

In any case this is way off topic just to say ex-PC units run in Missouri!
