KCS 2600 Kansas City Southern TFM 1319 May. 1968 EMD London c.2009 Texas 1, A
KCS 2601 Kansas City Southern TFM 1320 May. 1970 EMD London c.2009 Texas 1, B

General Notes:
1. 2600 and 2601 rebuilt at EMD London and released in TFM paint, moving under their TFM numbers. Both units were repainted by KCS in Shreveport, LA in late 2009..

Notes:
A. KCS 2600 identified based on positive ID of KCS 2601 as ex-TFM 1320 and fact that these two units were the only ones purchased in this round of conversions.
B. KCS 2601 spotted in Belle paint with new number in Shreveport, LA in Nov. 2009. Identified as ex-TFM 1320 by location of details on roof and lack of second fuel tank level gauge on conductor’s side of fuel tank.
