Was moving some stuff around in the basement yesterday and came across a CD marked “KS Local”. I’d documented this train in a past issue of the Eagle but thought I’d share some of the images here as well. The T&P caboose had recently come out of the shops; new thickly padded seats in the cupola and a fresh coat of red. I remember the flat car in front of the caboose was a bad order going back to TXX shops; I’d forgot we had a multilevel in the consist until I posted this again so not sure where it was headed or why but it was probably another bad order headed for a rip track. Interesting that the recently out shopped caboose received the MPL buzz saw rather than the Eagle style.
