Steam Chaser
Exactly a month ago, Amtrak's 40th Anniversary train made a stop in St. Louis. With good morning light, we went down to get some shots before touring the train. I've been tardy with uploading because, well, I forgot:eek:. Now is better than never, I guess!

The same consist we saw earlier passes the anniversary train and a waiting UP coal drag. I love the ex-MP GP15-1.

My favorite diesel at the Museum of Transportation is leaving. Soon, this engine will be headed to the east side for work before going north to an Iowa tourist railroad. Even though I'm sad that it is leaving, at least someone will run it!

Thanks for looking!
