Title:  Ft Scott Sub north
Description:  A through train rolls north toward Kansas City. There was not much in the area at the time I took this. You would not recognize it now, and you can hardly get to the tracks.

Coal down the river
Title:  Coal down the river
Description:  An eastbound coal train rolls through Hoffman Av just as an auto rack train clears. Look at those GE's smoke!!This is one of the busiest spots in the area, located where CPs ex MILW line and BNSFs ex CB&Q line head east down the Mississippi River. Theyll shortly end up on opposite sides, but here they are together. Its a show.
