A good day out in SEK! So I headed out to Pittsburg with @jellostrains@BNSFrailfan01 and @Kansasrailfan6022 to railfan. After the original plan was to chase UP 1943 on the yearly Toys For Tots run, which didn’t go to plan since it didn’t pass Fort Worth over night, we planned to railfan in the Pittsburg area. Me and Jellow started off seeing a Ballast train in Coffeyville yard. We would then proceed to Pitt after getting word that CKR caught two trains that both had KCSM grey ghost. We caught KCSM 4567 in the middle of CPKC 263 and minutes later see KCSM 4503 come in on a light power move. Right after those trains passed by, a UP Coal train with a CP SD70ACu! After that, the CPKC Holiday Train would be lined on a flashing read into the yard for a crew change. According to the Pittsburg yard master, this train would be referred to as the “Ho Ho Train”. We would eventually meet up with CKR and Kansas Railfan to get the Holiday Train going fast in Frontenac. Then the next train, a BNSF run through coal train came through with an ACe leader! What a good day in SEK!
