santafe199 rallied the troops in NE Kansas!

santafe199 text me with a heads-up about UP 1988 coming through Topeka, KS. today and that started the troops to moving. I text several members of the Kansas Gang and all of them responded. My first picture was taken at Grantvile, KS. as it cleared the Muddy Creek trestle. The second picture was taken at Porubsky Curve in North Topeka as we were losing light.

Nice shots Wes, and it has one of the air-flow devices on the first container.

Nice catch, but I cannot take any credit for the info. I just passed the word along from Mr. "SP8595"

This the first I have seen of a lead air flow device. I wonder how much fuel that saves on a trip? Given all the corrugated container sides and the spaces between double stack articulated cars I am betting the resistance of this device is actually pretty insignificant in the total train resistance.

Someone show me I am wrong.
