Terminal Dinner Train
Never did hear a symbol on this one, but the dispatcher referred to it as the "dinner train." Caught sight of the tail end crossing the MacArthur bridge on my way home from work, and thinking it was Amtrak, maneuvered to get the "going away" shot. A timely text from MM got me thinking about getting better locations, and this is the first of many.
The train is rolling up the Eads main in East St. Louis for Terminal's Madison yard. From there it will cross back over the Mississippi on the Merchant's bridge, then down to Market Street, past the Arch, then back to Union Station - Around the World.
In the right background is a southbound UP stack train waiting for the light at Q Tower, and on the far left, a KCS local running up the old Conrail main to CSX Rose Lake.
