North Bound CN

Here is a pretty ordinary unit yet one minor difference that many others do not have, top marker lights. UP 8777, trails eastbound as Mid DPU at Mission Mill Rd, I believe is one of two Union Pacific SD70ACes with marker lights added since it was one of two ACes used for Liquid Natural Gas testing. Out at Mission Mill Rd today.

Just as this short local passed, UP 7870 pulled into view!

An Unpatched SP was along for the ride as UP Train GEHOHL 26 rolls through Broadway on the UP KC Metro Sub. as a BNSF Transfer heads over the top bound for the Gooseneck.

UP 5999 at Elmhurst

One of many west bound coal trains on Saturday

Coal load.

IKE, Tracy, Skip, and I watched Dave pull the train into the yard crossing State Street, ending a long nap...I mean...tour of duty. It was about this time I felt the need to shout obscenities, urging the engineer to speed up, as he was blocking traffic.

Dave brings the GSRKPG 14 to a stop at Jerome Lane, waiting for a track inspector and a northbound coal empty to clear up. Here he is seen coming through Airflite Drive on the Chester Sub.

Headed around the curve in front of the St. Louis Skyline was UP Train GSRKPG 14 coming through 19th Street bound for Valley Jct. with Spiv at the helm.
