Steam & Excursion > UP 844 In Topeka,KSDate: 05/07/12 13:45 UP 844 In Topeka,KS Author: rich6000 Not much of a turn out at the first location at the Kaw River Park. I head to across the river and catch it at SJ Junction then as it is backing into Topeka yard.

Lance Date: 05/07/12 17:03 Re: UP 844 In Topeka,KS Author: JoCoLB Here's a photo of 844 as it passed a grain elevator at Alma, KS, shortly before making a brief service stop in the small Wabaunsee County town.
 Date: 05/07/12 17:06 Re: UP 844 In Topeka,KS Author: JoCoLB Here are two more shots of 844 at the north end of the Kansas River bridge. The second photo shows one of the large piers on the Topeka Blvd. bridge in the background.

Might have to try it out on E-70 some time (or nwk... ;^) Nice job with the night exposures, btw! (I do hit a serious note every once in a while!)

would't want anyone getting too close to the beast !! Date: 05/08/12 15:27 Re: UP 844 In Topeka,KS Author: tolland I have it on good authority that Edgar places much importance on the placement of those cones...
Date: 05/08/12 15:31 Re: UP 844 In Topeka,KS Author: Milw_E70 You know me, I was in my trademark shorts and flip-flops. Maybe the rent-a-cops they had hired to watch over the train overnight set up the traffic cones.....
