MP Heritage in Topeka
UP 1982 rolled into town this afternoon on the M-NPKC, and after realizing that it was trailing, I started thinking through other shots to take of it, esp. given my limited free time over my lunch break.
Sure enough, on the east end of the Topeka yard, I got to see this unit rolling by MP caboose #13832, which has been hanging out here for a few months now. While you're wondering about MP's history in Topeka, its worth mentioning that Kansas' capitol city was at the end of a MP branch line off of the main to Colorado that cut off at Lomax, KS. This line was torn up by the UP in the late 80's.
