‘Missouri’ Parting shot 5-24-13

In “Rails Around Missouri”, one of our final views of the Kansas City Southern in Chapter 4 is from an area south of Noel known as Butler’s Bluff. Both Bob King and Ken Albrecht were on the top of the bluff on October 16, 1982 shooting northbound KCS trains as they entered Missouri from Arkansas. The shot above, by Bob King showing 3 KCS and 2 Burlington Northern SD40-2s on a coal train, was not selected. The shot below by Ken Albrecht, was selected, and was used as a full page spread.  Which shot do you prefer?

“Rails Around Missouri” is a new, 224-page hard cover book filled with over 500 all-color photos like the one above. The pre-release price of $47.95 plus shipping has been extended, and your copy will come signed by the author. Choose between the KCS or Frisco cover (contents identital).
