Fresh ACM on the TPAS
As has become commonplace, the MTPAS was built by the Topeka Yard, and run east out of town to a spot near the Calhoun Bluffs.
With a fresh crew on board, it starts rolling again, and beneath my stalled car on the side of Kansas Highway 4, the Oakland Expressway.
The 7278 on the point is another one of the recent C44AC to C44ACM rebuilds, and it was SPOTLESS! This unit was rebuilt by GE in Ft. Worth, and the UP received it fresh from the rebuild on August 28, just seven days before this photo was taken.
Mid-day sun is certainly sub-optimal, but who's going to argue with the opportunity to bag this shot, when it's right down the street on a day off?
