Santa Fe 7428 6382 2182 2865 WB Manifest La Plata MO

It's a bright winters day along Santa Fe's Chicago-Kansas City mainline at milepost 312.5 on the Marceline Subdivision as a nice set of two GE and two EMD four axle units lead containers on flatcars and mixed freight into La Plata, Missouri. January 4, 1990.

 

Passing a long string of Railbox cars on a siding east of the depot, the westbound manifest is led by one-and-a-half year old 7428 from a group of 40 B40-8's numbered 7410-7449, (built between June 1988 and April 1989),

 

Trailing the 7428 are B23-7 6382 (built in June 1979), GP7u 2182 (built Feb. 1951 as Santa Fe GP7 2674, rebuilt at Cleburne TX Jan. 1980) and GP35u 2865 (built May 1965 as Santa Fe 1365, rebuilt at San Bernardino Sept. 1982).
