Probably the closest thing to shooting a Missouri Pacific train I'll ever get. A westbound CC train works through the Winthrop Curves on the way to Waterloo. In the 10 years of the CCP's existence, they leased a few things from Helm. These ex-UP GP 38s were only 3 of the 12 Helm units to ever be stenciled "HL." All 12 of those units went into the GTW rebuild program, and these 3 units are now GTW 4932-4934. Small world!
