BN 5559 coal train 5 GE's hospital in sight
Author: KCRW287

The other day TO member "bill" wanted some info on hospitals that had railroads in sight of the hospital, well this might be one, a BN coal train with what looks like 5 GE's pulling close to I-35 in Johnson County Ks, plus you  get to see the train in 3 different places. The hospital is Shawnee Mission Medical Center, sits off I-35 and about 75th Street. I couldn't figure the spot where the photograph was taken, maybe around 85th, close to I-35?  Frame date 6-89, Unknown photographer, KCRW287 collection

Thanks Jeff, some place right to the west of I-35 down around 85th. I am not totally familiar with that part of JOCO. KCRW287
