Birmingham Twofer Part 2
The process of following the RCP Inspection trip from the Twin Cities to Kansas City proved to be an exercise in flexibility for Puda and I as delays made plans change on a hourly basis. The original plan was for the train to make Kansas City by Sunday Night but due to delays the train made it by mid morning allowing us a few hours of daylight to catch the train. The train however went through our resting place in the middle of the night (Ottumwa, Iowa) so we had to play catchup. Thanks to a timely message from Luke Renish we figured we could beat the train to the northern part of KC. Birmingham Junction looked like a decent spot to try so we met everyone there with a half hour to spare. Two angles including this one at the junction here just south of the junction were captured in succession making the morning drive worthwhile.
