Kaw River at Birmingham
With weather reminiscent of Birmingham, England, the suburban Kansas City junction of Birmingham was HOPPING on this afternoon that I visited. What it lacked in photographic idealism, it more than made up in mood.
Here, Kaw River Railroad's 112 Job has pulled up to the junction after finishing its work in Liberty, and was waiting on this eastbound BNSF coal train to clear up in front of it. The coal train is running on the ex-CB&Q Brookfield Sub, and about the cross the ex-RI/MILW at grade.
The Kearney Branch (at left) is also an ex-Q property that WATCO leased from the BNSF back in 2005.
