AMTK 193 eastbound Southwest Chief #4 |
| Description: |
Amtrak 193 leads a late #4 through a slow order at De Soto, I can say from experience a train ride between Topeka and Kansas City is pretty scenic. |

UP 4292 tied down UP power |
| Description: |
UP 4292 sits quiet on the BNSF Atchison Branch (as I am to believe it's refered to). Not sure what this thing is doing here, it was gone by afternoon. It's sure strange to look at an SD70M and think "wow these things look old", but they are. |

BNSF 6300 tied down BNSF empty coal train power |
| Description: |
BNSF 6300 sits in the usual spot where KPL coal train power is parked in Topeka with a UP unit on the east end. The power will make a run to Lawrence then come back west to Tecumseh and then run down to Emporia and swap ends. I have no idea why they don't just run to Kansas City from Topeka after picking up at Tecumseh and Lawrence but I don't run things. |

UP 6605 eastbound UP empty coal train |
| Description: |
Here's an unusual sight. A coal train running between Lost Springs and Topeka. A derailment west of Salina (most likely due to a sun kink) has caused UP to run this Texas to Colorado coal empty north out of Lost Springs to Herington (about 10 miles apart) to Topeka then west to Marysville to North Platte, to Cheyenne and down to Denver as opposed to simply running Lost Springs to Abilene to Salina to Sharon Springs Limon and Denver. Not the most extreme case of detouring but it's pretty wordy to explain. |
