Impromptu Opportunity
As we're about to enter the Manchester area while on a family road trip, my younger brother nonchalantly mentions that M338 has a KCS leader and just passed Masonville. Upon this marvelous revelation, we change course and head for the 145th Ave bridge on the west end of town. Not even 30 seconds after arriving, bingo. KCS 4845, with its lopsided logo, leads M33891 05 eastbound into Manchester, IA, where they'll drop about 40 cars for Cedar Rapids. Taken on 9/5/21. Y'know, aside from KCS being the hot topic of the year, I've seen more of their power leading in the state than any other year in my life. Pretty neat for a railroad that may be endangered.
