Saint Louis, Missouri
Alton & Southern's fabled paint scheme has recently made an unexpected comeback in the Saint Louis area in the form of several Union Pacific SD60s. UP employees at North Little Rock, Arkansas have done a fantastic job on these units which are sure to become a common site leading transfers on the A&S and TRRA around the city. The 2205 is the first SD60 to be put into service and was used on the 101 job yesterday to shuttle cars between A&S's massive Gateway Yard in East Saint Louis, Illinois and UP's 12th Street Yard on the south side of downtown.
In this image, the 101 crew is headed back over to the Illinois side of the river via the MacArthur Bridge, passing by the site of the former scale house building which was recently torn down. On normal days, the 102 job is tasked with these transfer runs but thankfully the earlier running 101 did the work, resulting in great winter light for the first eastbound trip across the river.
