Looks like we'll have a fluted side car in the consist, some domes, a couple other cars that don't make it out for every run, and that nifty, but kind of passenger consist-ruining flat car on the rear with a UP Bulktainer on it.

Pump

I can see why the consist-ruining flat car is on the rear,no HEP,but i wonder why the extra fuel,i guess they figure they may have trouble with delivery.BTW, i've been in the 106, "Shoshone", gorgeous inside,mosltly original,1920's or there about.

 

[Abilene Ks Railfan]

I've never seen the UPP 3008 bulktainer car before, anyone got a pic of it?
I've ridden in the UP cars, they are always in immaculate condition.

Thanks!
That car would sure look better if the bulktainers were painted to match the passenger cars

 

[neokrrfan]

I found the original post on the Heritage Locomotive Yahoo Groups site thanks to "Pump".
Want to make sure he is recognized & thanked

 

[ecofreak]

Will this train go east to Nevada, IA and then down the Spine Line? Or down the Falls City Sub to KC?

 

[Midsouth fan]

If those con-tankers are hauling diesel, shouldn't all 3 of them have placards? (Combustible 1993) Maybe they are a water supply for the train? It's only a wild guess...I really don't know.

 

[TPWRY]

Id prefer yellow tankers over those bulktainers. The tankers would look better thats for sure.

Ed, We mus have passed each other over there. I got there and they were just pulling the first car out, then I came back later and it was all out like in your photo.

Here is the power ready to go:

 

[TPWRY]

Will the E's lead? Im presuming they will.

 

[otlocal]

That flat car looks like it has container system,like on a ship,where the blue racks can hold any type of tank,oil water or whet ever.

 

[BNSF650]

Have they left yet?

 

[TPWRY]

Does anybody know of a good spot to get it outside KC. I really dont want to be in downtown KC since I dont really know the area?

 

[papio]

Great shot Allan!

Brandon,
You could try getting some over off of K-5 (Walcott dr.). Take I-435 north from I-70 on the west side of KC(out by Kansas Speedway) to the Walcott dr exit. The tracks and K-5 run parallel for a ways or you could go up to Leavenworth KS. There is a park between the tracks and the river. It's on the east side of the tracks so you should have good light there.

Ok I may try there I got some other towns from somebody on FB which I may try too. I do have GPS so thatll help. May head up to the Hiawatha area maybe.

 

[kskcsfan]

Wonder what route they'll take back...probably the same one down or any idea if they'll run up through Wichita and Herington.

 

[BNSF650]

Nice photos Allan i sure hope they get out of Parsons,KS before 3 so i can get some day shots of this..
