Ran through Martin City a couple weeks ago. Took the kids. They thought it was very cool!

Saw this in Jeff City yesterday...pretty cool.

It was in my home town of Pryor, OK two weeks ago. Impressive unit to say the least.

I'll break my "radio silence" this morning because I can't help myself. I took this video near Otterville this AM.

As someone who is nowhere near where this thing has or will run, thank you! That was very cool.

So, I wonder if it would use the tracks near 19th St., east of downtown to get to Union Station from Independence. Might be worth a look.

Uncle Pete is a terrible corporation, treat their employees like absolute shit. Worse, their disease is spreading throughout the industry. I hope(only because of company error)and the engineer and conductor get away, but big boy catches on fire burns to the ground and takes a bridge or two with it.
