844 Across Kansas
Author: bnsfsd70

Here's my take on the 844 today. The "sun" wasn't all that cooperative, but it ended up working in our favor east of Topeka. Enjoyed seeing so many of you guys out there today!

Photo 1: 
Aiken Switch Rd., near Onaga, KS.  Surprisingly, this was the first time I've ever been up there, but I don't think it'll be my last. What a view from up there!

Photo 2: I found my way over to the Calhoun Bluffs on the northeast side of Topeka and had car troubles there, AGAIN!

Photo 3: East of Lawrence, near the KCKV&W overpass. Thanks a lot for looking,
- Jeff Carlson

Whoa - They did not pick up more cars yet? Wonder if they are going to pick up more cars in Kansas City? === === = === JLH

The 1982 was EB at Steel City yesterday. I'll bet it's in KC waiting for them.

Well done Jeff. I was "under" you for the Calhoun shot.

Great photos Jeff.  Especially like #3. Class lights and X in the indicator boards is just neat.

Yeah, a bit bizarre, eh?  I loved getting to go out and photograph this engine, but it was a bit disappointing to see it pulling a train like this.
