Emporia Sub segregation
Back in the 1990s west of Kansas City on the Emporia Subdivision, it was fairly easy to pick out the transcon trains running between Chicago and California from the ones operating between Chicago/Kansas City and Texas. The transcon trains almost always had the big new power while the Texas trains typically had the older, smaller power.
In August 1996 at Morris, Kansas, just west of Argentine yard, we have an autorack train from Pearland, Texas holding Main Two with a SF30C and GP7 for power while intermodal train S-CHLA crosses over from Main Two to Main One with a trio of Superfleet GEs headed for California.
