ex-MP SW9 in KC
After dropping off its boxcar from the caves, Cham-Pagne Switching Corp's ex-MP SW9 is channeling its inner ALCo while working the UP interchange in the line at Cham-Pagne Yard.
The locomotive the former Missouri Pacific 9178, which was built in 6-1951. Eventually, it became 1240, before being retired by the UP in 1983.
Looking at this photo, it could pretty well pass for a MP photo from the late-70's/early-80's, if it weren't for that pesky ex-Amtrak box back there. The unit has been repainted, but living in a cave has kept it in fantastic condition.
