Westbound UP Loaded Rock Train  Contributor's Pick!       
Coming through KC Union Station is UP Train RSXBS 13 with the CNW 8646 on the point. This was once a fairly common sight in the 1990s when real CNW trains ran past here, and you can't ask for a more CNW-looking load: pink ballast from Sioux City, IA. Also making a cameo appearance in the Amtrak station on Track 30 are Patrick Henry's Creative Charters PVs.

This is one shot I wanted to do with this train in order to duplicate this shot of the CNW Heritage Locomotive I shot here last year under almost identical lighting, and on the same track: http://uptrain.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2672590 .
