Staying occupied classifying railcars, a matched deuce of TRRA SD40 variants work Terminals' Madison Yard "Hump Job" on a beautiful mid-June evening. The Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis, TRRA for short, is a switching line formed by Jason "Jay" Gould in the year 1889 originally designed to work the trains that arrived and departed St. Louis' busy Union Station. Today, the railroad owns six different subdivisions connecting them to all five of their class 1 owners throughout the city including the BNSF, UP, CN, NS and the CSXT with action centered here at Madison Yard. The railroad's solid fleet of EMD locomotives look quite attractive dressed in their red & white paint.
