Merger-Bound OCS
On Friday morning, I had a good time getting out along Canadian Pacific's Kansas City Sub to photograph their southbound business train.
While mid-day summer sun isn't ideal, and this consist that they cobbled together is something just short of tragic, it was the first time that I've had the ability to photograph any of CP's business trains, and possibly the last time.
Here, the train is headed south at Lawson, MO on the CP side of the joint/split UP-CP trackage through the area. They were running down M2, which is the CP main and pulling uphill towards Excelsior Springs.
Once in the yard, the train would be combined with KCS' business train for a Monday morning trip to Laredo, TX on the KCS.
