CNW local at Kirmeyer
Title:  CNW local at Kirmeyer
Description:  CNW GP38-2 4618 sits waiting for clearance to cross the Missouri River bridge and into Leavenworth. The location is shown on most maps as Stillings; the railroad called it Kirmeyer; in steam days the CGW had a two-stall enginehouse and wye here to turn its huge 2-10-4s, which wern't allowed any further west. When this picture was taken the CNW and BN still used the line; it was abandoned by both in 1987.

KCS Slug 4050
Title:  KCS Slug 4050
Description:  KCS road slug 4050 and a small mystery. The unit came out of EMD in 1947 as F3A 30A. It was supposdly rebuilt into a slug at Shreveport in mid 1983 for use in Texas. It's shown here two years prior to that with its fans and exhaust already missing as well as blanked cab windows and in need of nose paint. As far as I can tell it was in KC headed to Mid America Car, who would repaint it and remove the center porthole- a configuration it had in later yers.

Start-up Power for the Chicago, Missouri & Western
Title:  Start-up Power for the Chicago, Missouri & Western
Description:  Sixteen UP, former WP, GP40s from the WP group 3528-3544, sit off the KCS in Kansas City in February 1987. UP sent them back to their owner, GATX, who in turn leased them to the new CMNW. As shown they wear a mix of WP and UP numbers and are painted either UP yellow (680), four in primer brown or still in WP green. UP 681, the former WP 3533, became CMNW 3016 and later moved to the Gateway Western with the same number.
