Southbound UP Loaded Coal Train
Title:  Southbound UP Loaded Coal Train
Description:  The KCMANZ didn't run today due to no outbound traffic, so Bob's crew went out on this UP coal load headed for KCPL Montrose Power Plant at La Due, MO out on the ex-Katy Clinton Branch. Conductor Bob is seen here waving on his way through Adrian. For once, his cap actually matched the logos on the locomotives he was on. Way to go Bob, you're getting the hang of it!

UP 7158 and 6173 take the MARX Brothers Along the IC&E
Title:  UP 7158 and 6173 take the MARX Brothers Along the IC&E
Description:  A unit coal train out of the Powder River Basin for some Mid-American Energy power plant someplace in Iowa. If anyone has any information or just wants to post their favorite lines from Marx Brothers movies (or the Karl Marx's Big Book of Fun (a.k.a. Das Kapital) let me know). All I know is that this train was loaded with coal and headed southwest from Clinton, Iowa. Also it was coming in a direction that it was backlit and I thought that this angle would be better than trying to shoot directly into the sun (which is rather bad for one's eyes). In the afternoon, this would be a great photo spot - I like the angle and the old factory and trees provide a backdrop

Title:  UP 6173
Description:  This was the 2nd of 3 trains which went through in one hour. With this one I also tried to find a location that the bright early morning sun would interfere with the least.
