Western Railroad Discussion > EC-5 on KP

Lucked out today. Just as I was coming out of the local Kwik- Shop this afternoon, I heard a train horn. I had to wait for 3 cars to go by before I could get out into the main st. to see what it was. Just saw the last half of a passenger car type car and knew right away that it was th EC-5 or EC-4 inspection car. I headed out on old West 40 and had to move right along. I got ahead of it as it was going thru Black Wolf, KS and it takes a swing to the South and then comes up out of the  river bottom grade and crosses a underpass for vehicles and the train then gets on the North side of Old 40. A county road goes North about a 1/2 mile West of the underpass and that is where I headed as it is on a big sweeping curve to straighten out for it's Westerly run.

#1 is just North of the underpass about a half mile.
#2 is just  about 300 feet West of first shot.
#3 is about 200' West of last one and moving right along.  UP 2670 with EC-5, William Wimmer car. upkpfan
