UP Herington Sub McPherson KS

This is the first shot I have taken at this spot, i'll definatly be here some more

Heading southwest through town, the third locomotive has some graffetti on it.

Went to run a chore and on the way hfme got stopped by this east bound stack, rolled down my window and got off a shot, too bad I wasnt on the other side

Shortly after my chase of the hybrid unit I came back into town and got this

Get a lot of autorack and stacktrains through here

This one obviously didnt turn out well

Always cool to see foreign power

Perfect evening for photographing, two clean UP units are looking real good.

Wasnt paying enough attention so this happened, really cool seeing a CP SD40, a rare sight here.

Not a very good shot, This is at the top of my list of spots to get a real good shot at with NCRA Refinery in the background

Thanks to Chuck Mitchell for the heads up on this train. CP must want their SD40's back saw one on another eastbound a few days ago

Westbound manifest heading towards McPherson

Off towards McPherson past those rises ahead, nice spot to watch trains at if you ask me.

Westbound just east of McPherson after a meet at Galva Siding.

An ACe with a nice suprise a CN C44 are just out of McPherson and heading east towards a meet with another autorack at Galva siding.

Creeping along at 15mph just east of McPherson

Checking out the rails before east and westbound stacks roll through.

This is why Kansas is called the "Sunflower State"

Westbound stopped just east of McPherson due to track work being done in town.

A pair of 70M's take an empty rail carrier train east.

New EMD working with old EMD taking a stacktrain east.

Highball! AAMMLB 10 heads west to McPherson. A CSX AC4400 is second in the consist. The engineer gave me a couple nice honks with thbt K5LLA

After meeting 8404, 8422 heads west with a long string of autoracks

I wish UP could be more like BNSF and keep their locomotives clean.

AGBPX 29 arriving several minutes after UP 7848

How about that the wingless 70m, taking an auto train west. Later I would see UP 1982 Missouri Pacific Heritage.

The second 70m is obviously having some issues, these were the only two units on the train I think they need a little more help. GE's arent they only ones that have this problem.
