Sni-A-Bar Vistas
Coming south out of Knoche Yard CPKC's ex-(ugh...) KCS mainline is anything but straight and flat. It's constantly twisting and turning, alternating between cuts and fills, and you can see all of those features in this view from the Sni-A-Bar Rd. overpass on the south side of Kansas City, MO.
This is southbound train no. 262, a daily Kansas City-Shreveport manifest, and on this day, it wasn't all that long.
Regardless, it looks great working it's way through the hills of eastern Jackson County, as does the train's leader, the KCS 4590. I struck out pretty spectacularly on the rest of the day's southbounds, but I'm really happy to have nabbed this one at a new-to-me location. Shoutout to Eric for the heads up on this location!
