By the signals
Title:  By the signals
Description:  The 4014 passes the automatics at Lenapah in my last shot of the day. As the train passed, the motorcade of chasers caught up, and I decided I didnt want to get bogged down in the mess. This was a fitting end to the day.

On the way
Title:  On the way
Description:  After the street shot downtown, I went up to the Arkansas River bridge and set up. Its a good shot, with the railing on the old highway bridge here enforcing a strict photo line. It was one of only a few unobstructed views all day.

Through the trees
Title:  Through the trees
Description:  One of the less appealing things about the ex MP route was the lack of overpasses, and that there were a number of places that were hemmed in by trees, a situation I would largely not have to deal with on a subsequent chase a week or so later in Kansas. Approaching a crossing north of Nowata.

UP 4014 at Forest Avenue
Title:  UP 4014 at Forest Avenue
Description:  During our UP 4014 in Kansas City, we found this neat spot that overlooked the tracks that valley through downtown Kansas City toward Union Station. Unfortunately, the train took a while to make it to Forest Avenue, and by that point the sun was too low to get favorable lighting.

UP 4014
Title:  UP 4014
Description:  Union Pacific 4014 "Big Boy" Heartland of America Tour train sitting at Kansas City Union Station after a long trip from southern Kansas. After I caught it at Forest Avenue, I figured there was no point trying to get my way into the herds of people at Union Station to get some overcrowded shots of UP 4014 in unfavorable lighting anyways, so I decided to eat at Town Topic with the guys instead of rushing for basically no reason (plus we were hungry anyways). Once we made it to Union Station, the crowds had finally dispersed, and I was able to capture some long exposure shots of UP 4014 as they got it settled down for the night.

First contact
Title:  First contact
Description:  I went up to Kansas to follow UP 4014 from its overnight stop in Hays to Sharon Springs. The train was back in the yard at Hays, so I went out along the line hoping for a shot that would work for a westbound in the morning. I caught him here at Yocimento, along old US 40, which follows the tracks from Hays to Ellis.
