Waiting |
Description: |
I was headed up to McElhany, near Neosho, to catch the southbound run of CP 2816, and caught this northbound empty grain train at Gentry. Hes waiting there for a southbound to give him the trailing UP unit, as that train is having issues with his power. Id normally have hung around to watch that effort, but wanted to be in place for the steam train, so grabbed this flowery shot and moved on. Id encounter this train again in Missouri. |

Hanging the marker |

The power returned a few minutes later, and the conductor climbed down and hung the marker on what was now the last car. I thought how much cooler a caboose would have looked, but this was probably more efficient. |

Changing ends |
Description: |
The day the 2816 ran south from KC, I went up to McElhany to wait for the steam train. When I got there, the dodger was changing ends to work back north. The power is passing its train, and will come back shortly so the conductor can hang the marker. |
