We're far from the glory days of riding by rail out of Union Station in Kansas City, MO, but this evening, we four separate trains with passenger equipment lined up alongside each other, all led by four different and unique locomotives.
Left to right, Amtrak Train No. 3, the westbound "Southwest Chief" with the usual P42DC pair, has just arrived on Track 30 along the KCT East-West Corridor, swapping crew and letting passengers off and on before continuing west from Chicago to L.A. Next to it on Track 29 is Amtrak Lincoln Service Train No. 319 with a pair of Siemens Chargers, having from Chicago via St. Louis. After dropping off the passengers, the train will head to BN Interlocking and Santa Fe JCT to wye, returning to Union Station pointed east to leave for Chicago tomorrow morning as Amtrak No. 318.
On Exhibition Track 28 is KCTL train Y-217 with an Ex-SP GP35R. This yard job from Mill St is tied into the Patrick Henry Creative Promotions cars, which will be added to the Lincoln Service train once they wye themselves and return to the station, ready to leave eastbound in the morning. Finally on Exhibition Track 27 is the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014, which has spent the day here for public viewing during its return trip home to Cheyenne, WY as part of the "Big Boy Coast-to-Coast Tour". It arrived here yesterday as UP train PJCKC-21 and it'll leave tomorrow as UP train PKCDV-23. 7/22/26.

Wraz z początkiem września zakończył się sezon wakacyjny, podczas którego na linii kolejowej nr 213 kursowało 12 pociągów ciągniętych klasycznymi "łajkami". Charakterystyczny bulgot, jaki wydają z siebie lokomotywy serii SU/SM42 są nieodłącznym elementem helskiego ambientu. Przyszłoroczny sezon ma być ostatnim, gdzie pojawią się składy wagonowe ze "stonkami".
