    I visited an antique store in Abilene, KS, today and found several photos of Missouri Pacific trains at Leavenworth, Ks, from January 1981. Interesting to note that there are no Mopac locomotives and both UP locomotives are both on the southbound and the northbound trains. There was also a photo of Mopac switcher/slug pair at 12th street.

    Also interesting that UP 2429 is on both trains. Makes me wonder if these were the #174 (northbound) and #173 (southbound) trains that ran KC-St Joseph in the early 1980’s. The northbound was either 174 or an empty grain train, and the power turned to 173 with the Conrail unit added.
