Here are some not so great photos taken from a moving vehicle of various trains on the Kansas Sub, as well as some better shots from out in the boondocks and in Manhattan.

UP's locally famed bridge at Manhattan sits in the evening late waiting for a train to come across it, which wouldn't happen while I was there.

Thanks for viewing the pictures, hoping to go shoot the eastbound ZSEMN later today on the KP.

Can you get to the sunny side of that bridge? The sunny side would make a great shot witha tran on it.

Yes, there's a trail the shot was taken from that goes under it, but it's rather difficult to find a good angle in the evening.
