Topeka Sub Time Travel
This morning, as I was getting ready for work, I got the first of what would turn out to be MANY texts regarding the bizzarre-o situation involving a 34 year-old, Santa Fe Warbonnet-painted B40-8W leading a westbound business train towards the city I reside in.
This is the second shot that I got of the O-PADTOP (Paducah, KY-Topeka, KS), and it's taken just about 20 minutes before sunset. This is at Herschell Rd., which is just east of Tecumseh, KS, and MP 44 on BNSF's Topeka Sub.
As if it wasn't evident from the start that this was an extremely rare occurrence, the BNSF 552 literally died about 100 yards from its destination, as it stopped at Topeka's 2nd St. Interlocking. Breakdowns like this certainly won't help the cause of getting old units like this assigned as solo motors to trains like this in the future, deadheads or not.
