AMTK 202 eastbound Amtrak Southwest Chief
Title:  AMTK 202 eastbound Amtrak Southwest Chief
Description:  After stopping at Topeka and Lawrence between our shooting spots, Amtrak 202 has train #4 at track speed as it highballs under the cantilever at Eudora. We arrived with just a minute to spare, thanks in part to a UP autorack train across the river that caused us to lose 2 minutes.

UP 9798 on eastbound UP empty autorack train
Title:  UP 9798 on eastbound UP empty autorack train
Description:  A rather nice looking ex CNW Dash 9 trails on this eastbound autorack train. This is one of the units last revenue runs before being shoved out into the desert for storage I have to agree with the sporadic opinion that this is one of the best paint schemes ever applied to a wide cab GE, I just wish that giant UP logo wasn't on the nose and that patch wasn't on the side.

UP 4234 westbound UP empty rail train
Title:  UP 4234 westbound UP empty rail train
Description:  Rolling through Morrill, the only train on the Hiawatha Sub breaks the silence of the quiet town. This line is a bit of a blessing and pain to shoot. Many small towns and abundant scenery to shoot, but you're completely blind without a scanner, no line side signals, just cab signals.
