FW&D EMD SD-9 locomotives move this freight train on the Burlington-Rock Island (Joint Texas) Division over the MKT about 1963. An FW&D outside-braced wood caboose oversees the rear-end of this classic freight train. An EMD SW-1 switcher is moving in this consist. FW&D fans, please comment and help with any historical facts or corrections as needed. Enjoy this rare 8mm footage recently discovered in a private collection.
SD9s in both old & new freight schemes! 40 foot freight cars! The switcher being dead-headed in the consist! And a unique caboose! Love it!!!
