KCS 3952 Westbound 3MVNKC at Marshall MO
On Wednesday, 6/02, many problems caused an outbound MVNKC train to be over 12 hours late leaving East St. Louis. That created a rare daylight train west of Mexico on Thursday. After being stumped the 1st 2 days with this line, we made up for it as we chased this train from Glasgow to Concord. At Slater the train would pickup cars and power and meet their counterpart at Blackburn. Here the job slowly works thru Marshall on the KCS Mexico Sub. The train is working from Venice, IL, to Kansas City, MO, over the old Gateway Western Trackage. A neat 1906 built Chicago and Alton Railroad depot still stands on the southside of town.
