Western Railroad Discussion > Some shots from latest Missouri tripDate: 08/02/21 08:21 Some shots from latest Missouri trip Author: SP8595 Made another trip from Western Colorado back to Northwest Missouri and brought the camera along just in case:}
1) On Friday, July 23rd I caught the Westbound Kyle train switching the Grain elevators at Brewster, KS with Central Oregon & Pacific SD40T-2 #4074 (Ex Southern Pacific 8232) and Buffalo & Pittsburgh SD40-3 #3344 which was built as the Canadian National 5157 and then went to the Kansas City Southern for awhile as their 6609/3158. Once back in Missouri, I wasn't able to catch the Lehigh Valley Heritage engine leading early Saturday morning, the Reading leading Saturday afternoon and the Pennsylvania engine leading Westbound on Monday morning:{ With another Great "heads-up" that the Pennsy engine was returning back Eastbound out of Kansas City on the point early on Tuesday morning (July 27th), I was hoping to at least get the chance to shoot one of Norfolk Southern's Heritage engines leading! 2) While waiting for the NS train, I got a quick grab shot of the Eastbound Southwest Chief passing by the BNSF Carrollton Depot with Amtrak engines #45 and #165. This train actually had a pair of private cars on the rear but I wasn't ready to grab a shot as the train went flying past. 3) Pennsylvania Heritage engine #8102 looks Great leading the 9977, 7641 and 9348 (all elephant style) from the Highway 65 overpass heading Eastbound on NS tracks. -------------------Three more pictures posted below-------------------------- Edited 1 time(s).

5 and 6) Early on Wednesday morning, July 28th I was outside doing yard work and heard an Eastbound BNSF train on the Brookfield Sub. blowing for crossings so I hopped in the car and did the short drive down to the Highway 65 crossing near Tina, MO. The trees alongside the right-of-way have recently been cleared off from this location which has really opened up the shot. BNSF #5976 was leading on this loaded coal train heading for the Thomas Hill power plant. A going away with the rear DP's in the heavy, humid air (and probably a little smoke as well) with a soybean field in the foreground. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 08/02/21 08:32 by SP8595.

Bismarck Bill Date: 08/02/21 09:27 Re: Some shots from latest Missouri trip Author: ns2557 Nice shots John. Really like 3 & 4. Those NS Heritage Units can be a challenge to catch for us westerners. I try and catch them when I get back east of the Mississippi. Sometimes I do good, others not so good. Got a few of them over the years. Got the CNJ last time back that way. Good luck. Ben

Date: 08/02/21 11:07 Re: Some shots from latest Missouri trip Author: 3rdswitch Great bunch. I wonder how unusual, or usual, it is for an intermodal train, power and all, to get stashed in a hand throw siding out there?
JB Date: 08/02/21 11:09 Re: Some shots from latest Missouri trip Author: MILW86A ive caught the PRR out here on the IAIS before. Excellent series sir.
MILW86A Date: 08/02/21 14:20 Re: Some shots from latest Missouri trip Author: AndyBrown Great set! Nice to see the Carrollton depot; not often we see it. Very nice shot on the Pennsy.
I too am curious about the odd/interesting sight of the stack train parked on an auxiliary track. Andy Date: 08/02/21 14:59 Re: Some shots from latest Missouri trip Author: SPgoletablock -Great work on finding some elevation for the Pennsy leader!
