KCS Transfer Job crossing Mississippi Ave, E. St. Louis, IL



The KCS transfer move from their yard in East Saint Louis to TRRA Madison Yard arrived with some eclectic GPs for power. It would return to East St. Louis as a light engine move via the TRRA Eads Main and the UP Springfield Sub utilizing KCS trackage rights going back to the GWWR days.

Running on the somewhat less frequently travel Main on this part, the light power move hits the long trestle at Mississippi Ave, a shot in decent light here having eluded me until this point.

-KCS GP40-2LW #2912, GP38-2 #2033, Rebuilt GP10 #1906 leading power

-UP (ex-SP/CM&W/ICG/CR/NYC/GM&O/etc) Springfield Sub, near MP X283, Main 1
