Smokin' Military Move
On a beautiful, May evening, I got word that the UP was running this (mostly) Military Ammo train down the Kansas Sub towards Topeka. In true PSR-era fashion, this train was running as the KCXNPX (I believe), and had 9300' of both military AND manifest traffic. OK, whatever.
For whatever reason, they had to pick up a pair of units from the yard, giving us this quartet of elephant-style GE's, complete with a SMOKING AC44 on the point. I've never enjoyed these wingless UP units, but the 7272 was putting on quite the show as it pulled through CP Z070, so I'm officially here for this.
