Western Railroad Discussion > Scaling Mt Navarre in KansasDate: 09/07/19 04:41 Scaling Mt Navarre in Kansas Author: santafe199 And you thought Kansas was flat as a pancake, dintcha?
1. 2. & 3. BNSF 6891 has scaled the treacherous Mount Navarre in Dickinson County, KS. It took a while ‘cause there were 100-some-odd loaded grain hoppers in tow. Oh yeah, there was also a pair of DP units tossing in some pumpkin power at the stern. Photo date: September 5, 2019. It’s all down hill from here?

Good one, Lance, thanks for posting. Nick Tharalson, Marion, IA Date: 09/07/19 12:17 Re: Scaling Mt Navarre in Kansas Author: Ritzville Like the last shot of the power tipping over the mountain!
Larry Date: 09/07/19 12:39 Re: Scaling Mt Navarre in Kansas Author: CajonRat A quick check of the elevation map shows a whopping 57 feet of elevation gain/loss between
Hope KS and Navarre. You might want to back off on the fermented beverages before calling it "Mt Navarre";) Date: 09/07/19 17:54 Re: Scaling Mt Navarre in Kansas Author: overniteman Nice concept and originality.
