Western Railroad Discussion > UP Engineering Special in NE KansasDate: 08/03/20 11:26 UP Engineering Special in NE Kansas Author: bnsfsd70 This morning, I got out to photograph the UP 4222 leading the PHNCB through my neck of the woods, and was happy to have gotten it at three locations; Topeka, Lawrence, and Bonner Springs. All three turned out fairly well, but I think the Lawrence shot is the best of the group.
Photo 1: Topeka, having just entered the KS Sub from the Topeka Sub less than a mile behind it. From what I heard on the radio, it sounded like they stopped to pick somebody up here as well, which I thought was interesting. Photo 2: Rounding Don Ball curve in Lawrence, rolling by the ex-UP depot, which now serves as a Visitor's Center and event space. Photo 3: Closer to Kansas City, the special is heading by the Kansas River bluffs in Bonner Springs, KS. Thanks for looking! - Jeff Carlson Date: 08/03/20 11:40 Re: UP Engineering Special in NE Kansas Author: dan thank you

RC Lundgren Date: 08/03/20 16:39 Re: UP Engineering Special in NE Kansas Author: bnsfsd70 Well, I can say it was a good day.
After going out to shoot the eastbound UP special this morning, I ran out after lunch to nab the UP 1988 rolling into Topeka from North Platte. This is the MNPMX 03, a North Platte, NE-Laredo, TX train, although the symbol lets you know that this is likely traffic that is bound for Mexico. I shot this train across a bright green soy been field at Menoken Jct., on the northwest side of Topeka, KS. - Jeff Carlson Date: 08/03/20 18:31 Re: UP Engineering Special in NE Kansas Author: bobk Great shots!
