South Seneca Scrap
This morning, with it being the final day of the KMEA Conference in Wichita, I found myself with some time to head towards the K&O's Orient Yard to photograph the local working.
There, I found the WAMX 4034 and 4035 leading the KOWIC06 from the yard up towards the BNSF interchange on the city's north side. For the local residents, these are everyday scenes, but for those of us from other parts of the state, it's nice to get to document these operations.
After getting clearance from the BNSF, the local rolled east on their line towards the Arkansas River. Here, it's seen here crossing Seneca St. in Wichita's McCormick neighborhood. The makeshift fencing of South Seneca Scrap on the left makes for quite the interesting photo prop, and could work great in summer months!
Each of these engines started off as GP40's for the newly-merged Penn Central in '68, with stops on the B&M, Amtrak, and Helm Leasing before finding their way to WATCO.
