Over Thanksgiving Weekend 2024, CPKC's Holiday Train made its return to the center point of the new railroad: Kansas City. Returning to the former Milwaukee Road KC Sub, Train2589 and I spent the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day chasing the train to town and then on Nov. 30th see it arrive for its show at KC Union Station. An added bonus was the surprise appearance of Heritage SD70ACU 7012 at the ...

ATSF 552 on the BNSF Business Train - Nov. 15, 2024
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Місяць тому
In a bizarre turn of events, former Santa Fe B40-8W #552 was placed on the point of the BNSF OCS on a deadhead move to Topeka from Paducah, KY. Words quickly spread in KC area railfan circles and I managed to catch it at Union Station (meeting a Fakebonnet too!) and at CP Holliday to turn onto the Topeka Sub. A once in a life time catch that will not happen again.

Union Pacific 4014 - Kansas City to Abilene 2024
Переглядів 2,2 тис.Місяць тому
Beautiful 2 days with Big Boy 4014 in Kansas City and across Kansas. The original plan was to chase it all the way to its next layover stop in Salina, but long delays in both KC and Topeka and slow moving freights made it for a long and slow run, and it was getting dark by the time it reached Abilene. Still pleased with the results however. 00:00 Kansas City Union Station 08:07 Edwardsville, KS...

Took advantage of the nice weather and went out to the Emporia Sub again. Glad I did because BNSF was sending a bunch of movements westward and they came one after the other in the 2 1/2 hours I was there. Got a few nice surprises too, the best being the Gardner Turn with two cabooses, 1 Santa Fe and 1 BN.

    This is really cool to see but I operate one of those 500s every day on our local and I am sure that was extremely stressful for the engineer. The officer train is never a very relaxing job and those old units don’t load quickly and the dynamics work extremely poorly, only making your job as an engineer harder

Unfortunately my pics didn't come out great in Bonner Springs (because my camera malfunctioned) but I had a good time regardless. It seems like once it got out of KCK it was flying on by trying to make up for lost time.
