Rocket Reprisal

What is now Union Pacific's Kansas Sub between Topeka and Kansas City was once the home of the Rock Island's Twin Star and Kansas City Rockets.

 

Today, it hosted a very different kind of rocket, in the form of a rocket booster train out of Ogden, UT that was symboled the SCRME.

 

On the point was the UP 1943, nicknamed "The Spirit," which commemorates the US military. The weather wasn't great today, but how can you say no to a move like this?
