Missouri-Kansas-Texas SD40-2 618 by Andy Fletcher

The Missouri-Kansas-Texas SD40-2 618 was the first MKT locomotive I drew.  At the time, we had done Great American Train shows in the Bay Area and Seattle and a vendor at the show mentioned that my artwork would be popular at the next show in Houston.  To prepare for the show, I drew several fallen flags from Houston that I thought would be popular including MKT, Missouri Pacific and Frisco.
