Is the camera aimed the wrong direction? Rock Island U25B 231 was on the point of Train 4, "Golden State," standing at North Topeka, Ks. station as westbound mail Train 39 with two F units approached and will stop at the depot. No. 4 has just entered Union Pacific track to run to Kansas City, and No. 39 will soon be leaving U.P. property to be back on home terrain.
...Rock Island....Erie Lackawanna....even some UP....some other stuff....that I remember even if I didnt' see them in the locales that some of these photos were taken at.....
