| Description: |
The switch on the BNSF is in, as well as the signal, all they have to rotate them around on their mast to face north, all they have to do is raise and connect the connector track to the existing UP track to complete the interchange. |

Southbound Manifest With GREAT POWER |
| Description: |
Here came a train through the 7 inch snow, at a slow speed but still blowing some snow around. We were really here for the third unit, which showed up in an Internet Trace as it left a location in Illinois. When it left North Dexter we came down to the tracks, soon after it departed Bernie it showed up here. We were shocked (but not disappointed) at what else was in the consist, like that second unit! The only thing that could have made it better would have been if one of the SD45's would have been leading. |

This train came through with one of the few remaining SP Dash-9's that aren't fully repainted, this one was patched, but not repainted, so that was also great to see! |

Northbound Intermodal With the MKT and MP Heritage Locomotives |
| Description: |
The heritage units are back in Missouri on UP Train IHOYC 25! The Katy hasn't been in SEMO since August 27, 2005 (it's first revenue run south, and the only time it was here until now), and the first time the Mo-Pac has been here since October 4, 2005. They have been assigned out of Kansas and Texas since them, they are now back on this run for a while. The Katy tripped a ground relay south of Little Rock, AR. They had to hold the train for 4 hours to find a unit to go on the front to power the train on north, they chose a nasty SD70M. Joe Falvey, David Silverberg-Daily American Republic (and Mo-Ark Regional Railroad Museum Volunteer, He wants to put the units in the newspaper!), and I were here by the Black River Bridge for photos when the train eased into town at a red signal and stopped. We were glad to see they were freshly washed and scrubbed! The engineer stepped out and told us to "Get all you want!". We did that! I told him to "Switch the power around!" while doing a hand motion, he laughed and said, "If I had time I would!" When the signal turned yellow he asked, "Got all ya want?" We replied yes, and they eased on out of town! |
