With CP's takeover of operations in KC, one is left to wonder about how long scenes such as this will remain in the Fountain City.
The UP 7185 pulls east down the KCT, off the high-line and past KCUS as the rear DPU on this coal load.
Next up is the BNSF 5867 pulling south out of Murray Yard on its way towards the ex-Frisco Ft. Scott Sub.
Our final shot of the day is of the BNSF 8873 pulling some coal empties west past KCUS into the setting sun.
We'll see how long it keeps its unique paint following its overhaul at the Topeka shops.
WB, just east of White Lakes "mall."
