The AAPRCO Spring Meeting special passes over the Mississippi River into Clinton. The special is operating from Chicago to Kansas City via Clinton and the Spine Line. UP 8800 is required for cab signals on the former C&NW route.
The Kansas City Rocket was a special train of privately owned railroad cars that are part of the American Association of Private Railroad Car Owners (AAPRCO). The train was in conjunction with the mid-term meeting in 2017.
