Northbound UP Manifest Train
Title:  Northbound UP Manifest Train
Description:  The Denver & Rio Grande Western Heritage Locomotive leads UP Train MLDNP 06 on the UP Coffeyville Sub., which is Ex-MP rail. A Rio Grande engine isn't too far of a stretch here, since a few miles south of here, in Osawatomie, KS, the Mo-Pac used to have a line splitting off of this one, which ended in Pueblo, CO, interchanging with the DRGW. After the UP-MP Merger, DRGW was granted trackage rights over this route to Kansas City. It was also once the route of the MP Streamliner, the "Colorado Eagle", which utilized mostly a Rio Grande routing into Denver.

Title:  UPY 622 - EMD GP15-1
Description:  Ex-Mo-Pac GP15-1 at UP Fairfax Yard. This engine is Ex-UP 1622, built as MP 1622, and was the last holdout on the roster with a carryover number from the Mo-Pac Merger, meaning it changed reporting marks when it became a UP engine, but kept the same number slot. It was renumbered in 2010.

SOO 2016 - EMD GP40
Title:  SOO 2016 - EMD GP40
Description:  Bandit! Before tonight I've only ever seen these in the Chicago area, and I've never been able to shoot one. It's taken 4 years since the CP took the ICE/DME back over but a Milwaukee Road "rotten pumpkin" is finally back home in Joint Agency Yard, which is operated by KCS and CP, once run by the KCS and MILW. Part of this facility is known as KCS Knoche Yard.

SOO 2016 was built in 10-1966 with a builder number of 32298 as MILW 178, and later renumbered MILW 2016, and then patched to SOO 2016 after the 1986 Merger. These might be weathered beyond belief but I still think they're downright nifty. That niftyness is only magnified by the fact that she's still wearing her Milwaukee Road Hiawatha Orange under a flaky black SOO-Applied shell, sitting in a yard that was undoubtedby occupied by this very unit when brand new. Now, hopefully she sticks around so I can shoot her in daylight.
