The Adventure Continues
Since many of us had never been to La Harpe before, a bunch of us went poking around town to see what we could find. We started with the other end of the Keokuk Junction, from the yard in La Harpe towards Keokuk. But it didn't take long for the action to pick back up again. While checking trying to see what looked like a possible steam-era water tower on satellite maps inside the wye at La Harpe, a cut of cars was being reversed into the KJRY yard. It was the La Harpe-Keokuk job, led by former Santa Fe GP-20 2032, building his train. He was backing into the yard to grab a handful of cars that had just arrived with the F's. And while we were all preoccupied with the the sign-off of the F's, the La Harpe yard job had already switched out those cars and had them ready for the run to Keokuk.
