Our first train of the trip...... |

This train was coming pretty fast down the NS KC line. We found a road just as you get to Keytesville, hung a big left to get to this spot for our first shots. |

The "junk" train.......... |
| Description: |
As we waited for this one to make it's appearance as NS 111, we heard a crew call it the "junk" train. Why? Because it picks up whatever needs to be moved on it's route from KC to StL! |

The junk train, going away....... |
| Description: |
Looking like it's over powered, but it's not. Never quite sure how much "stuff" they need to pick up on their way to StL. |

This was the train that had the high green at Ethel. The sun was no help there. But that was the same here. So I opted for the whole train long shot. The bridge in the shot is at Elmer |

Holding in Wellsville.... |
| Description: |
Another of the former Dash 9's is now in charge of the "junk" train, on Monday. I heard them on the scanner as I passed Mexico MO. They picked up enough stuff here that allowed me to catch up with them, before leaving. |

The converted one, and it's associate, sat at Wellsvile for some time. So I opted to move in for a closer shot (you almost always dread doing that, cause they usually start moving on you!) |
