Western Railroad Discussion > Four Heritage Units, Three Trains, One Day

...and a partridge in a pear tree. 

Yesterday, Sat. 09/24/16, was a good day to be in Kansas City, if you wanted to get photos of NS heritage/special scheme units. Provided with solid information that there were three separate trains (2 NS - 1 BNSF) that had heritage/special units, I decided to try and catch all three. 

Below are the results of the day's travels - enjoy!

1. NS 285 (North Kansas City, MO - Jacksonville, FL) rolls East through Orrick, MO behind NS 9353 and NS 6920, the Veteran's SD60E
2. Following 11 minutes behind, NS 120 (North Kansas City, MO - Detroit, MI) passes through Orrick with NS 1072, the ITC SD70ACe on point
3. Relocating to the East, NS 120 rolls towards the US HWY 65 overpass at Carrollton, MO

4. Moving back into the KC Metro Area, BNSF train U NSIMNX7 14A rolls North at Riverside, MO behind a pair of freshly rebuilt, specially painted NS AC44C6Ms 4002 & 4004
5. A short chase ensued, and the train is seen here, going into the siding at East Leavenworth, MO

Thanks for looking,

Nice work Dalton.  These are some nice looking photos and locations.  Pretty fortunate to get so many Heritage & Specialty units in one day.
