2 days in Kirkwood
Author: Jim Tiroch
Well, I have been basically Neglecting Kirkwood. With all my time on the east side, its about time I went to Kirkwood. Everything from UP 6361 to LTEX 3414, and a High N Wide. These photos are 100% Kirkwood!

Former UP 3415 looks worse with that ugly Home Depot Paint tha was applied with a roller!
Hey Larry! Next time, try a Profesional paint job, not some cheap roll on paint! You make this Gorgous SD40-2 Snoot nose edition look shamefull!
Rio Grande, Chessie System, and Ferromex are my top three favorites, with A&S and MRS making #4 and 5.
Looks like an old Tyco.

A patch of a diffrent Kind. The conductores side of UP 6361 reads Union Pacific, while the other side reads Southern Pacific. Identity crises indeed!
