| We again divert from our usual haunts to chase the Union Pacific, this time on their Kansas Pacific route, from Denver to KC. It was in recent years and coal funnel, with much of the coal comng out of Wyoming headed for Kansas City routed here to take it off the Overland Route in Nebraska. Thats now down significantly, and seeing trains here is a some time thing. During a stay at the KOA in Strasburg, we found the tracks were literally over the fence from the campground. So on Saturday of Labor Day weekend, when a train passed at 1000, I was off. I caught up just outside Byers, starting a run at this eastbound oil train. |
