Hi Bob! Great shot! I was just wondering how you know it's eastbound if you don't know the location? Date: 06/28/20 12:56 Re: Into the land of OZ Author: JimBaker Look at how the sun angle appears.
I'll go with eastbound. James R.(Jim) Baker Whittier, CA Date: 06/28/20 12:57 Re: Into the land of OZ Author: Copy19 That looks like the Kansas Special running from Denver to Topeka on August 26-29. 1986. The trip celebrated the 125th anniversary of Kansas statehood.

Larry Date: 06/30/20 06:30 Re: Into the land of OZ Author: switchlock I'm guessing Solomon as the location.
or not. I think the grain elevator is on the wrong side of the tracks. Granted, a lot has changed since then. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/30/20 07:25 by switchlock.

Date: 07/01/20 09:56 Re: Strasburg, CO, passed wig-wag Eb UP 8444 Author: switchlock The Abilene & Smoky Valley railroad in Abilene, KS has a wig-wag from Solomon in their museum. Chasing 8444 through Solomon on that trip in 1986, I saw a wig-wag on the east side of town. I wish I would have stopped for a picture.
