KCSM 4569, EB, STURTEVANT, WI 11-17-24
A grey ghost on a grey day generated a large following of fans of train #246 back around Milwaukee, but not so much here. It didn't set any speed records getting out of the city, so I pulled into here to nab him splitting the searchlights for the long gone diamond on the former Milwaukee Road C&M sub. This beast was set up 2x1x0 with 128 loads and 56 empties that stretched back over 18k feet at 10k plus tons. The NS 9820 was second out and the KCS 4184 was buried 2/3's of the way back in the train. The 4569 was delivered to the TFM in August of 2000 just as you see here, with the KCS adding their markings when they acquired the TFM.
