Expect the unexpected
The St. Louis area can sometimes come up with some interesting and unexpected sights.
GP40WH-2 #9969 (ex-MARC #69) idles away the hours on the Granite City Cut-Off in Madison, IL. After a few days parked here off Race street by itself, UP's YMA-51 came in this morning and added CSX baggage car "Taos."
The Taos looks to have been built as ATSF Baggage Car #3680; later becoming Amtrak #1167, then #1256; then Mid-America Car Rail Leasing (MRLX) #800863, a number still stenciled on the "B", i.e. rear, end of the car. It is also numbered CSXT 994367.
Looks like the geep is probably here to collect some newly-rehabbed leasers from Mid-America. Wonder what's going to be added tomorrow.
