KCS 2016 - UP KC Metro Subdivision Kansas City Southern 2016 (a GE AC44CW) leads a train of covered hoppers west on Union Pacific's KC Metro Subdivision , as a BNSF freight train rolls across the southern approach to the Hannibal Bridge . In the background is the ASB (Amour-Swift-Burlington) Bridge which is also a railroad bridge. Both the Hannibal Bridge and the ASB Bridge cross over the Missouri River between Kansas City, Missouri, and North Kansas City, Missouri. Both bridges are owned by the BNSF Railway. The ASB Bridge is a lift-span bridge, while the Hannibal Bridge is a swing-span bridge. Photo taken: May 26, 2004. Kansas City, Missouri.

BNSF 4207 - Santa Fe Junction - Kansas City BNSF 4207 (a GE B23-7) leads a train south at Santa Fe Junction . BNSF 4207 is a patched ex-Santa Fe unit.

The two tracks that veer off to the left side of the photograph lead to the lower deck of the KCT's Highline Bridge .
