Cave SW9 in Independence, MO

Well, I was over in Independence, MO on an overcast Saturday afternoon, so I decided to head to somewhere where the sun didn't matter; a cave.

 

This is Space Center Distribution's SW9 taking a rest for the weekend, underground in Independence, MO. Space Center is an underground complex in a former limestone mine with a network of man-made caves for storage of products.

 

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.
