Two CSX GE's, the second one being very smokey, bask themselves in artificial light on a warm summer night.

I was quite happy when I found this SD45 on the point of this train sitting downtown. It's good to see these old beasts still in service.

Two terminal switchers shuffle cars around the Yard lead tracks on a beautiful July morning.

This UP intermodal pounds the diamonds at Valley Jct. as it enters the Chester Sub, bound for Dupo.

New and old EMD products mingle in the UP yard at Dupo after night fall. The ACe will probably be the power for ZDUMQ 08

In a classic scene, a man and his daughter wave to the engineer of this southbound grain train, GSRKPG 15, passing through Shipman.

A new SD70ACe and SD70M counterpart wait in the yard for their assignment, this is the power for the ZDUMQ 08. Note the severe lean in the trailing locomotive.

UP 775 idles the night away, under the watchful glare of a blood-red crescent moon.

6128 enters into the last rays of sun at the end of just another day in its 46 year life. BNSF 6128 had its humble beginnings in April 1959 as C&S 836 (B.N. 25156).

This BNSF grain train, X STLCRL4 28A, is waiting for a new crew on an evening that couldn't be more perfect, great lighting, and another chance meeting with BNSF's trio of SD9's.

Only on the BNSF can you find a locomotive nearing 50 years old and still in regular mainline service. Here a trio of ancient SD9's and a GP38 interloper lug a heavy transfer to Lindenwood Yard.

Soon to be coupled onto their train these 2 UP SD70Ms take a break to rest under the stars. Notice the blur in the stars, that's actually how much the earth rotated in just 12 seconds!

At the end of the day, this BNSF coal train is coming off the elevated stretch of track that carries it across Laclede's Landing, and also under the arch.

The M&VP's major customer is Diamler Chrysler, here we see the yard job switching auto-parts boxcars with the huge Chrysler Plant looming in the background.

The setting sun paints a beautiful picture over the town of Eureka, as another day on the Cuba Sub dcomes to a close.
