Passing under the endangered early 2000's installed searchlight signal cantilever at Cleveland Avenue on the KCT East-West Corridor, is KCS Train 2Y-KC101-16 on KCT Main 2. The yard job has a pair of GEVO's with 99 cars: 62 loads and 37 empties bound from the KCS Intermodal Freight Gateway at Belton, MO to UP 18th Street Yard in KCK.
Occasionally the KCS builds big blocks of UP's at IFG, and runs them all the way across the city as one big transfer like this. This move can terminate at either Neff or 18th Street, and has even gone all the way to Quindaro at least once.
Sitting in Track 109 is KCT Train 505 waiting for Central Missouri Reload to finish unloading a boxcar before tying in and dragging it and 4 other pulls back to Blue Rive Yard.
The supports for the new 4 track signal bridge are already in place here for the EBCS and WBCS, and this rarely shot signal bridge came down late in 2016.
Locomotives: KCS 4846, KCS 4857, WAMX 3852
