Jeff Carlson General Interesting. Regarding the KCS-MILW combo, the two of them share Knoche Yard in KC, referring to it as the "Joint Agency." This agreement continues today with the KCS and CP (ICE). 2/7/2012 8:18:37 AM
Chris Guss General Knoche's Joint Agency term is just that. The locals based out of there use a mixture of crews and equipment on all jobs based in the terminal. Just like the equipment in your photo is mixed, the crew on board is also a mixture of KCS and MILW crewmembers. 2/7/2012 6:32:13 PM
