Filmed 7/24/13 First, I apologize for the video quality, I was using a different camera and when zoomed in, the picture quality drops. But I thought this train was good enough to post anyway. A little back story... In a video I posted on July 2nd titled "Massive KCS freight crests Blue Springs Hill... turn it up!" has a video response in it from YT user 844Train... who filmed that very same train on the other side of the street from where I was. In the comments of Chris' video, someone from the Kansas City Southern left a comment about how much the train was struggling up the hill, which lead to a brief conversation in the comments of Chris' video. Now, the train in this video might be the result of that brief conversation. Won't know till I see some more trains, but this is the first time I've ever seen DPU's being used on this line. This is the old GM&O line which KCS now owns, and it has a couple hills that trains have issues with. One hill is in Independence and the other is here in Blue Springs. I've thought they should use helpers here for a long time and apparently, the Engine crews have been saying the same thing.
