The first freight train I witnessed on my first-ever trip to Horseshoe Curve (in Altoona, PA) contained this fine-looking MP boxcar. It's a really neat place...
Nathan, On February 15, 2006 I posted a listing of 25 MOPAC lash ups in/around Omaha that had foreign power in the consists. The time frame this listing...
I cannot recall any MILW power on the Mopac in the St. Louis area in the 1970's, but I do know that CNW units found thier way between St. Louis and KC on very...
