Western Railroad Discussion > EB tanks pausing at Menoken

Digging back through the master file... Quite often Uncle Pete’s eastbound trains will get stopped on the west side of Topeka. It’s usually due some sort of congestion downtown with trains to & from the old GSR. These trains will stop short of the NW 25th St crossing. Pretty handy for us camera-totin’ railfans... :^)

Back when UP liked using the 70Ms for most jobs. Awesome photo and great lighting!

Nicely posed and captured!
