Western Railroad Discussion > Who needs a train? (vol #2)Date: 10/17/18 08:51 Who needs a train? (vol #2) Author: santafe199 Last Saturday I met up with friend & fellow retired engineer Jim Will (KCRW287 on TO). I’ve been wanting him to show me how to get into the backwoods area on the old Mop mainline between Leavenworth & Atchison, KS. Having grown up in Leavenworth, Jim knows the area very well. He also ran over this line as an engineer, after his original employer C&NW merged with Uncle Pete in 1995. Jim showed me some pretty remote spots, and the UP actually sent us a couple of trains! Later on that afternoon we moseyed across the Missouri River to explore BNSF’s St Joseph Sub. We bagged 2 more trains, and a knockout of a sunset:

I find when taking these kind of pics, it works best to tweak the camera settings. NICE shot Lance!! Date: 10/17/18 17:52 Re: Who needs a train? Author: bmarti7 ns1000 Wrote:

No Kickapoo, but we bagged a train shortly after finding Oak Mills. Also found Port Williams. Say, pardner: FIX (check?) your phone! I've been trying to call you for 3 days... Lance Date: 10/17/18 19:12 Re: Who needs a train? Author: wa4umr It's great when the elements come together to create a great sunset or sunrise. Then you came along and captured it in a wonderful way. You're right, you don't always need a train to make an interesting photo with a railroad theme. There is a Facebook group, "Waiting for a train" that has pictures taken along the tracks but not train in sight.
