Unknown project

One day one of my local “go-to” spots was invaded by some sort of construction project. Never did find out what they were doing, and they were gone next time I was there...

1. UP 7859 leads a unit grain train into Manhattan, KS in the west end of the downtown area.

2. Trailing UP DP unit 7675 is about to pass over the 15th St crossing.

Thanks for looking!

First thing the struck me was "nice topsoil" something severely lacking at my home in northern NJ.   Every time I attempt to dig a hole I end up with more rocks than dirt.

Lance, wasn't that the buried powerline you wanted for your remote control camera so you don't have to leave the house on nasty weather days-?

Nahhh. I gave up on that remote. It wasn’t long enough to reach the Flint Hills… 🤣
