I took these 2 weekends ago, posted them to Flickr, but then forgot to post them here! I guess I got preoccupied with the KCS OCS that I saw the Monday afterwards!

The Manufacturers Railway running light to the enginehouse. Though the rest of the day was great, we missed the MRS making a transfer run to the A&S. That move is getting rare, and it probably won't happen for too much longer.

The catch of the day. Two ex MP SD40-2s switch a cut of cars bound for the A&S Gateway Yard. The two GP38-2s are along for the ride.

Nice. Those shots of the Madison Turn remind me of the old SP when SW1500s often were part of the consists (and didn't look like they'd had their teeth knocked out!).
