Western Railroad Discussion > Wyaconda stair steps.Date: 08/04/20 09:33 Wyaconda stair steps. Author: hank A westbound BNSF intermodal on main 2 meets eastbound Amtrak #4 on main 1 near MP 275 on the BNSF Marceline sub. Location is a couple miles west of Wyaconda, Missouri. The area is known by local railfans as the Wyaconda stair steps. Not sure of the date, but likely 2001 or 2002.

Whatever the unit is that's the original paint Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/05/20 06:43 by Spoony81. Date: 08/05/20 22:22 Re: Wyaconda stair steps. Author: IC_2024 That’s just a fun video to watch — remember the M&E years well at AMTK and have video of an equally long SWC at Princeton, IL.
Thanks for sharing! BTW, I’m sure the pole line and those old signals are long gone by now, right ?!? |
