Western Railroad Discussion > Just another KP chaseDate: 09/15/21 10:18 Just another KP chase Author: santafe199 1. Picking up the chase of UP 6394 West at our “go to” location at the Swamp Angel Rd crossing 4 miles east of downtown Manhattan, KS. As fellow TO member “mg8711” will agree with, a great many of our KP chases either begin or end right here. This location has been christened with the nickname “The Swamp”...
2. The 6394 is rolling past the small yard + siding in Manhattan, KS proper. 3. Another one of our frequent “go to” locations is this 56th St overpass about 2 miles east of Ogden, KS. The Manhattan Regional Airport is just out of frame to the left. Daily non-stop flights available to O’Hare & DFW...    Date: 09/15/21 10:20 Re: Just another KP chase Author: santafe199 4. The 6394 is rolling past the now mostly derelict yard in Junction City, KS. At one time Junction was a hugely important division point, complete with a sizeable engine shops facility!
5. The 6394 is passing over the BNSF (former AT&SF) crossing at West Abilene, KS. That’s the UP ~ BNSF connection track on the right and the iconic Sunflower Hotel building behind the trees in the left-hand background. 6. The 6394 is rolling through the S-curve at Ike, KS.    Date: 09/15/21 10:21 Re: Just another KP chase Author: santafe199 One more for fans of the Kansas State Flower...
7. Considering the attention given to trackside sunflowers in a few of my recent threads I thought I should toss this image into the thread. That’s the ABS-governed east siding switch at Ike. (All photos taken on September 11, 2021) Thanks for watching! Lance Garrels santafe199  Date: 09/15/21 12:05 Re: Just another KP chase Author: bobk Great chase and shots!

RC Lundgren Date: 09/15/21 16:16 Re: Just another KP chase Author: mg8711 Sometimes I don't even chase from there, I just go out there for a one and done.
