Polo, MO

Climbing the hills of Northwest Missouri on the former Milwaukee Road is Canadian Pacific train 577 on the CP Kansas City Subdivision.

 

After seeing something get lined by KCT from the KCS Pittsburg Sub to the CP, I got in my car to try and shoot whatever it was at this spot. Once a SB sand (676) cleared Polo, 577 wasted no time trying to get up to speed. This is one of those days where I got surprised with a very good leader. I was expecting some ugly KCS power, but I was pleased with this exceptionally clean AC44 rebuild.

 

Like the UP River Sub, this line is rarely photographed and underrated in my opinion. Yet it is still one of my favorites.
