IC Diner & a FRESH SD70M
The freshly repainted UP 3853 rolls west past the "Great Overland Station" in Topeka, KS past an unusual visitor. The RPCX 4110, an Illinois Central (painted, at least) diner was eight cars deep on an eastbound manifest (NPKC) that was working the yard at the time.
The 3853 was headed for Herington on the Golden State, while the diner was dropped off and blocked to Block 222 (Norfolk Southern) in Kansas City. I've seen on RRPA that this car had been in Commerce, CA and is headed to the Monticello Railway Museum in IL to join their collection of IC equipment. Good to see it heading to a good home!
