Northbound UP Intermodal Train |
| Description: |
One unit wonder UP Train ZMXDT 14 crosses the Black River Bridge on the UP Hoxie Sub. and blows for the B Street Crossing. I never figured I'd miss SD70Ms on every train, and every train had one leading this morning, but they aren't GEs. |

"Ghost Train" Aftermath |
| Description: |
This was the SUV stuck by Amtrak #21 on June 5th at the Wilcox Road Crossing north of Poplar Bluff on the UP De Soto Sub., killing 2 of the 5 girls inside. They were parked on the tracks participating in a popular area myth about a "ghost train". Basically the entire circumstances surrounding the myth are completely made up, but that doesn't stop people from trying to get the ghost story to work. Anyway, these girls weren't so lucky when an actual train showed up. My mom had one of the girls in 1st grade a few years ago. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/two-missouri-girls-playing-ghost-train-game-die-when-train/article_205ca220-af06-11e1-b3dd-001a4bcf6878.html |

Westbound UP Work Train |
| Description: |
Slowing down, getting ready to go in the hole for Amtrak is UP Train WSLAMZ 17. This train started out as the WIMAMZ 16 with a destination of East Ames, IA. It was annulled and sat for 12 hours at St. Louis and resymboled the WSLAMZ 17, with a destination of East Ames again. That destination was then extended to Cedar Rapids, IA. It went “around the world” in Kansas City (looped completely around down via the KCT) and ran north up the Spine Line to Des Moines. A route map of this thing would look obnoxious considering they could have sent it up through Illinois. |
