Western Railroad Discussion > Monday Meets: Stacked up at Grantville

As you often see happen, you get some interesting action only after the weather goes south. But since you're an hour from home with time and half a tank of gas (so far) invested in your latest railfanning jaunt it seems pretty silly to just quit shooting. Especially when considering the (er… umm……) COST of film & processing nowadays…

1. UP 8372 leads an eastbound stacker hot off the GSR through the Grantville crossover plant on main #2, meeting...

2. …UP 8808 west with another stacker. After the 8372 clears this train will crossover from main #1 and…

3. …run on into Topeka on main #2. This was a move so typical of a stacker headed for the GSR in downtown Topeka, right?? WRONG: ( https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,5206325 ).

The clues to this guy headed to Marysville are those orange Schneider 53's on the 4th car...but I'm sure now that I say that UP will start hauling some towards LA via the GSR as well. Looks like it was a fun rush to run back and forth.
