MP 2165, Overbrook, KS

A young Management Trainee took this picture from the caboose platform as the crew of Missouri Pacific's Topeka Local works the Overbrook elevator on MP's Topeka Branch while enroute back to Osawatomie. "Oz" was the Kansas Division headquarters at the time. The GP38-2 that was built earlier in the year looks good despite the fresh weathering of road dust. The branch line was ripped out sometime after the 1982 UP-MP-WP merger, ending service to this elevator. 5-22-1980
