ICE 6102 - EMD SD40-3
Title:  ICE 6102 - EMD SD40-3
Description:  This is a rebuilt SD40, and is the only remaining unit on the CP Roster in I&M Rail Link Paint, trailing on CP Train B92-10. The IMRL operated the mostly Ex-SOO track from 1997 when the CP divested themselves of the line they claimed to be losing money on, through 2002 when IMRL owner Washington Corp. deemed it unprofitable. Cedar American Railroad Holdings certainly reversed that opinion of the line with the Iowa Chicago & Eastern before its sale back to CP in 2008.

Westbound UP Work Train
Title:  Westbound UP Work Train
Description:  Slowing down, gettilg ready to go in the hole for Amtrak is UP Train WSLAMZ 17. This train started out as the WIMAMZ 16 with a destination of East Ames, IA. It was annulled and sat for 12 hours at St. Louis and resymboled the WSLAMZ 17, with a destination of East Ames again. That destination was then extended to Cedar Rapids, IA. It went “around the world” in Kansas City (looped completely arhund down via the KCT) and ran north up the Spine Line to Des Moines. A route map of this thing would look obnoxious considering they could have sent it up through Illinois.

"Ghost Train" Aftermath
Title:  "Ghost Train" Aftermath
Description:  This was the SUV stuck by Amtrak #21 on June 5th at the Wilcox Road Crossing north of Poplar Bluff on the UP De Soto Sub., killing 2 of the 5 girls inside. They were parked on the tracks participating in a popular area myth about a "ghost train". Basically the entire circumstances surrounding the myth are completely made up, but that doesn't stop people from trying to get the ghost story to work. Anyway, these girls weren't so lucky whem an actual train showed up. My mom had one of the girls in 1st grade a few years ago.

Eastbound UP Manifest Train
Title:  Eastbound UP Manifest Train
Description:  The Boy Scout Unit led UP Train QNPINP 30 through the KC Area today, and I figured that since this thing has been out over 2 years, and I hadn't yet got a shot of it leading a train, that I better. Here the train scoots down the UP River Sub. at Old Lexington Road.
